Are there activities that, if done frequently enough, aren't psychologically addicting?

If a person habitually exercises, are there detrimental emotional effects associated with quitting cold turkey?

What about love? Do we become dependent on the chemical reactions in our brains associated with romantic feelings for another person? Are there withdrawals following a break up?

How about adrenaline? If a person grew up racing dirt bikes and experiencing the thrill that comes with it, does the sudden absence of that emotional excitement carry with it negative implications?

The point I'm trying to tease out here is that we can become dependent on plenty of things. Because something is addicting doesn't make it "bad" - it just indicates that the behavior must be handled responsibly.

Many people much smarter than you and I would disagree with you. If you never smoke weed to begin with your chances or ever doing any other drugs is much higher. Why is that so hard to understand. If you are someone that smokes weed daily how is that any different than someone that gets drunk daily? Please answer this for me oh wise one. Are you just a habitual user and not an addict? Are we going to hear the I can stop anytime argument again?

Alright now I just really want to understand your logic. So your saying if you've never smoked weed before and you were prescribed the pills for your injury you would have never got addicted? Is that correct?

It's not any different then someone who drinks everyday and ya I do smoke EVERY SINGLE DAY. Just because it was so hard for you to kick the habit doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. Did you not read where I said I have stopes for months at a time before? It's not hard since there no withdrawal symptoms. It's a fact of mind over matter. Sorry you too weak minded

Like I tried pointing out only weak minded people use the excuse of the "gateway" drug as a legitimate argument. If you got addicted that's because your mind feels like you can't stop not because you actually can't. If that was te case then people who were once drug addicts would always be one

Is marijuana addictive?

Long-term marijuana use can lead to addiction; that is, people have difficulty controlling their drug use and cannot stop even though it interferes with many aspects of their lives. It is estimated that 9 percent of people who use marijuana will become dependent on it. The number goes up to about 1 in 6 in those who start using young (in their teens) and to 25-50 percent among daily users. Moreover, a study of over 300 fraternal and identical twin pairs found that the twin who had used marijuana before the age of 17 had elevated rates of other drug use and drug problems later on, compared with their twin who did not use before age 17.

According to the 2010 NSDUH, marijuana accounted for 4.5 million of the estimated 7.1 million Americans dependent on or abusing illicit drugs.1 In 2009, approximately 18 percent of people aged 12 and older entering drug abuse treatment programs reported marijuana as their primary drug of abuse; 61 percent of persons under 15 reported marijuana as their primary drug of abuse.10

Marijuana addiction is also linked to a withdrawal syndrome similar to that of nicotine withdrawal, which can make it hard to quit. People trying to quit report irritability, sleeping difficulties, craving, and anxiety. They also show increased aggression on psychological tests, peaking approximately 1 week after they last used the drug.

Bashing? Whose bashing? I was friends with him and ya maybe it is a little biased because he dipped out back to the east coast while owing me 500$. His truck broke so I loaned him cash not thinking he would do that. But ask him yourself if the story is true if you don't believe me. I'm not the only one he still owes money too either...

Guess what kid. You sound like a fucking moron. Weed is absolutely a gateway drug you are just to young and stupid to know it yet. Want to know how I know? I smoked weed for 10 years. Guess what after so many years of smoking weed it led to other things. Like getting addicted to pain killers to the point where I was spending a grand a week on them. Clean for 2 years now. You will either smarten up some day and realize that weed to is a drug and affects you in a huge way. Especially if you smoke it all day everyday. Or else you will be a burnt out 60 year old that has gone nowhere in life and still hangs out with kids and smoke weed missing out on all the things that really matter in life like kids, family, etc. Took me waaaay to long to figure it out, but I did. Guess what. I wish I would of figured it out earlier. Hope you do.

I don't get why he is getting slammed for saying what he knew, and it does sound very legit!! People ask about him someone seems to state more facts then they can give and he gets slammed.. As you guys stated not the first and not the last..

I know of a 125 Supercross champ in jail now for dealing large amounts of ICE. It happens! Fuck some of these pro's get some pretty narly injuries , and spend some time in their careers on OXY, Endone etc can't really balme them sometimes how they get addicted.

Worse I was ever given was Endone and 20mg Oxy and fuck me it felt good and made me think of them when doc stopped giving them to me for my broken wrist.

Now I had a friend who broke both elbows - they had him on 80mg Oxy plus Endone, he was fully hooked, weened off them, then spiral fractured his femur and back on them, he even said fuck it is ahrd geting off these things.

Why would Stroupe be any different, he had some bad injuires back to back.

Can't blame him really, it happens when you break shit and need pain killers.

I liked to read the insite on him..
