How long does it take to become addicted to marijuana?
I have been smoking for 7 years. I KNOW it is PHYSICALLY addictive. The withdrawl for weed lasts MUCH LONGER than say a cocaine withdrawl. I have tried almost everything. Meth, coke, ecstasy, LSD yadda yadda. Guess which one I’m addicted to? Weed. When I quit, I get cold sweats in my sleep that are horrible. It feels like you have a very bad fever. I go through periods of extreme “jumpyness.” I also get very anxious for a long time as I adjust to a new, sober reality. The reason marijuana withdrawl lasts longer is you can’t pee it out like coke or ecstasy. It stays in your fat. Don’t be reckless and tell everyone that it isn’t addictive, just because you aren’t addicted. I can drink a beer and not feel addicted, but a beer will destroy someone else’s life. Telling people that it’s not addictive could end up taking years of their lives away.
