Craving For Weed

[Narkotikon]

Firstly, let me say that I didn't know where to put this. I know it didn't go in the opiate categories, and it didn't go in the stimulant or research chemical categories, so I put it in the potentiator category. Feel free to move it if you'd like.

For the past few days I've been craving weed. The last time I smoked pot was in March 2005, because it really doesn't do much for me. Generally, pot makes me enjoy music a lot more, but on the other hand it can make me very paranoid, and I don't consider it very euphoric, but for some reason I've been craving it.

Has this happened to anyone? Obviously this applies for those who don't normally smoke weed. Is there a reason why someone would be craving weed when they're unopiated? I've not used in 9 days (poppy pot tea).

Sometimes the right weed helps with WDs. I don't really crave it per se.

I think it works pretty well for passing time while in wd. Not my favorite drug though..

yeah, i get this sometimes too. i'm pretty much a daily pot-smoker whenever i can afford to keep some around... it's a boredom thing, and a way to help keep my mood elevated when i'm not opiated.

but for the past 3-4 months, i couldn't really afford any, and i decided to stop smoking it 'cause i was trying to get a job (somehow i always end up fucking up the drug screen for pot, no matter what else i've been taking... the damn stuff just sticks around your system too long). so anyway, after the first 11-12 weeks went by i passed a screening and got hired somewhere, but i still couldn't afford to get a nice bag. since then (a couple times) a friend has smoked some with me, but i've been away from it for the most part. and i STILL crave it some days! sometimes it's just because i'm bored... sometimes for no reason at all... and it sure isn't making things any easier since i'm still on a self-forced break from opiates for a while! sometimes i just wanna smoke some so i can have some kind of buzz, even if it's only weed! at least craving weed IS just that... a mild craving.

so anyway nark... (sorry for the long-windedness!)... i'm thinking that maybe since you're not opiated, maybe you're just craving some kind of buzz. i wouldn't have thought that it would be for weed since you're one of the folks that doesn't really enjoy it to begin with, but it's all i can come up with. as for me, i can't wait till i get a few paychecks earned... my opiate break will be over AND i'm gonna get a fat sack of weed!

Yeah, I think it's just because I"m craving an altered state, and while I'm been drinking on and off, alcohol just doesn't do it for me. I like it for the first hour, then I start to feel shitty, and I really don't like the hangover that comes with getting shitty faced drunk, so I try only to drink 2-3 drinks. I think the reason is because weed is more acceptable than opies, and like you said, I'm craving something. There would be a big difference in my family knowing I was smoking weed than doing hard-core drugs, you know? Although they'd still probably freak out. I've just never been a big weed person. I love the way it makes music sounds, and I sort of like that time distortion, but I never get giggly or anything. Actually, if I'm around someone I don't know very well, I get really paranoid and start analyzing everything they say. I hate that feeling. So, that's the main reason I don't do it. But, I agree, I think it's just because I'm craving a buzz. Thanks.

Since opiates came into my life I havent really cared too much for it. Every now and then Ill wake up and go buy a bag, smoke a joint or two outta it and thats it. Usually give it away.

[GoddessofRATs]

You know what I've been craving is red wine. And i HATE BOOZE!!! But for some reason the last few days, having a few glasses of wine at night has seemed so tempting but i hate how booze makes me feel so why I'm craving it i don't know. But, i'm not gonna do it, it's just a craving and it will pass.

I actually crave cannabis more when I am opiated. I don't really like smoking cannabis that much, mostly because it makes me stupid as hell and I am not capable of doing anything other than eating and listening to music. But for some reason when I do oxycodone, I think..."this would be even better if I was stoned."

I have never gotten stoned while opiated, so maybe I am just curious what the combination would be like. I read both good and bad things about the combo.

[smack man]

yea i'm not much of a pothead myself, but once i have some opiates in my system i love to smoke a little blunt. If i smoke weed by itself, i get paranoid and start thinking too much about shit and drive myself crazy. But it's great mixed with your favorite opiate.

[Tbird921]

I smoke weed almost everday, it's okay, but when I don't have it, it's not really a huge deal. I love smoking on opies though. as long as im really oped out and know I won't get parnoid.

Again with the bumping a thread that's over a year old. What's up with that? It's usually better to just start a new one--that way we all don't have to re-read a bunch of crap from people who are no longer here. Aight???

Damn, this was a flashback. I remember writing this post too. It was last fall, before I started using regularly again, and was down at my sisters constantly talking about weed. Yeah, too old to be relevant anymore. Start a new thread.

Oh, and the craving went away.

i quit smoking weed back in august
and have been craving it at least once a week BADLY ever since
sometimes i wish i could just start again, like, tomorrow
but it'[s a bad idea for me right now, and for so many different reasons

[theDeanofGreen]

When I am on opies I have to have herb or else it is just not worth it for me, but I smoke everyday with or without them. When it comes to smoking while going through withdrawal is a different story, sometimes I go out to smoke thinking it is going to make me feel better and I just end up feeling worse somehow, but I am sure it just depends on the person.

I was a heavy pot smoker for a very long time (I come from a long line of pot heads, my grandfather smoked a ton of pot before he developed emphazima (sp), and my father was a dead head, and still smokes pot pretty frequently) but have abstained for 2 years, as I felt it was clouding my brain, and draining my motivation. Every once and a while, I get the urge to pop over to my pops house for a joint, and have done so every now and again.

Usually, the urge comes up when I'm bored, hanging around the house watching T.V or messing around on my computer.. Nothing beats a lazy day with a few joints, watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force, or old corny B sci-fi movies. I don't want to be stoned every day anymore, as I get easily "burnt out", but I do enjoy it once in a blue moon, and the cravings do pop up sometimes at wierd times. Plus, when I haven't smoked in a while, a small joint will get me blasted, giddy as a school girl. Damn, now I gotta craving for a joint and some NY cheesecake!

I wish my town had some nugs. I've stayed away from the scwhag here for a few years now on sheer principle. I'm trying to quit drinking right now and usually pot helps me with any type of cravings and helps slow down my mind enough for me to sort things out in a logical manner and keep me grounded. The only thing I can find of any kind of quality in this town is meth, which I hate, but atm I just want to get high on anything. LSD, pot, ecstasy or heroin are what I'm craving in that order. L without nugs is kind of like peanut butter with no jelly to me though. I really don't think there is anybody around here that I'd want to trip with any way, so I'm better off with non-social drugs at the moment.

I smoked weed daily for almost 10 years. Now I only smoke it once and awhile. I've had an 8th of nuggets last me months. There is a small chance I would be tested at work (something like 6 people are tested at the end of every quarter) which keeps it to a once or twice a saturday thing for me. But that is not the only reason. I kinda just slowly stopped smoking all the time.

The only time I really crave weed is when I am really really hungover

The last 1/4oz of nugs I had lasted for 6 months. I never would've thought I'd see that day. Haven't had shit for almost 2 years now though. I'm good with a couple of puffs anymore as opposed to puffin tough all the time. Well if I see ya at Hampton scikid, we might have to make an exception and do it right. :cool:
