I know someone that has been smoking since 1994. It got so bad that if he buys 10 wraps, he will chain all of them one after the other.

He has lost jobs, wife has gone, everything is just upside down. He has been struggling to stop for the past 10 years.

Make God help una.

If I hear, in the realm of addictions, weed is a boy where sugar is

Every small thing una go give weed bad name, almost all the most innovative ideas for the past 20 years were inspired by weed, we have grown more over the last 20 years than ever before, so spare me that gist


Weed has no side effects, I dare you to point one, op is using cigarettes faults to paint weed, how can you be addicted to weed, for America to make it legal you should know that its harmless

Weed is the only recreational drug legal in America, think about that, a legal recreational drug, if weed wasn't good thing they will allow that


Leave weed alone, I feel for all the dumb ones that will believe you and never experience true vision




Its not legal in the whole of America. Its just legal in 11states. Are the other states dumb...? NO

That's shows,it has actions and reactions.

I stopped smoking long time ago, tho I still use marijuana (brownies and the rest).

All I can say is smokers are liable to die young, you can't ignore the fact that you are bombarding your lungs with smoke and other harmful impurities.
Bro do you know any weed strains that energises? Not the one that make you sleepy.

I'm not impressed. Real junkies make the best decision on-the-go with joints. I'm still scavenging, touring and voyaging my way around for success like every other person, but what differentiates me from you and them is POT.

I'm a calm guy. I don't sway with the crowd. Friends best me and people say my countenance is gentleman-like. Those who hate me only do because I give less attention to snitches.

Bros, weed dey condition guymen. It's not called #wisdomgrass for nothing. Stop raising unnecessary argument.

The downside is that, it's not for kids.

Smoke wisely bloodas!!!

Very intriguing and educative story.

I'm also battling alcohol and tobacco addiction presently.

I smoke 3packets of benson switch everyday. That's #1200 being burnt to ashes daily.

And when I get drunk, I start singing out loud and disturbing everyone in the beer parlor. I think I'm having fun at that point in time, but afterwards- I become as depressed as ever, when I realise how stupid I've been...


Holy Mo... 1.2k everyday - 30+k a month only on Cigar. Devil is wicked... How it will continue to fund this is what i dont know. My own na only beer but the way the money shows up, I dont know. Its a waste of life.

Physical Effects Breathi Physical Effects Breathing problems. Marijuana smoke irritates the lungs, and people who smoke marijuana frequently can have the same breathing problems as those who smoke tobacco. These problems include daily cough and phlegm, more frequent lung illness, and a higher risk of lung infections. Researchers so far haven't found a higher risk for lung cancer in people who smoke marijuana. Increased heart rate. Marijuana raises heart rate for up to 3 hours after smoking. This effect may increase the chance of heart attack. Older people and those with heart problems may be at higher risk. Problems with child development during and after pregnancy. One study found that about 20% of pregnant women 24-years-old and younger screened positive for marijuana. However, this study also found that women were about twice as likely to screen positive for marijuana use via a drug test than they state in self-reported measures. This suggests that self-reported rates of marijuana use in pregnant females is not an accurate measure of marijuana use and may be underreporting their use. Additionally, in one study of dispensaries, nonmedical personnel at marijuana dispensaries were recommending marijuana to pregnant women for nausea, but medical experts warn against it. This concerns medical experts because marijuana use during pregnancy is linked to lower birth weight and increased risk of both brain and behavioral problems in babies. If a pregnant woman uses marijuana, the drug may affect certain developing parts of the fetus's brain. Children exposed to marijuana in the womb have an increased risk of problems with attention, memory, and problem-solving compared to unexposed children.

Sighs!! I started weed smoking during my first year in the university, and then graduated to codiene and refnul, through the aid of pear group.

It really affected my academic a lot as I graduated with a 3rd class in Mathematics/CIS in a private University.

And then after I graduated, my family members then started noticing this habit in me, I then decided to put a stop to it which I'm still in the process because I'm from a very deep Christian background with my Dad being a head of a church and my mum a deconess, but she's late now. Due to this reason, I couldn't stand seeing my dad getting depressed by this act of mine because he loves me so much, so I had to stop it and then try to focus on going in for my masters through pgd.

my smoking level rose to an extent that I can't eat unless I smoke some marijuana.

It made me so depressed Haven graduated with such a low degree, but what got me strong a bit was that my dad was ready to sponsor my MSc. and I have a great talent in music. as people often love me whenever I'm singing. I'm told that I'm excessively talented, so my plan is to go into the entertainment Industry after my NYSC and during my MSc.

part of my prayer is I hope God helps me so I can completely stop the herbit forever.

Maybe marijuana is not for you, some people also get addicted to food ,does that mean food is bad.

Weed smoking causes lungs roasting or what do you call it, yet no case, not even 1 of people suffering from lungs cause of weed.
I'm sorry if you were affected by weed, but it's not the weed it's YOU.
You should check the effects of Maggi...

Bro.

Tell me something about that Maggi.

I have been high for 3 days now, and something tells me it is because the three cube I do put in my small food.

Do you think that seasoning cube is capable of taking one to cloud nine.

ArisingStorm:
Firstly, if you are a smoker, an advice : start eating as much fruits as you can till you overcome the addiction. Smoking is a fast way of killing the body cells, infact, very fast. All these post of smokers are liable to die young ain't a joke. Eat fruits and drink water adequately(I trust smokers, them no go believe grin ) .

I started smoking marijuana when I was in my Final year back in school (if I had started earlier, for me o, I don't think I can graduate). In the beginning, it was all fun, the journey was blissful, no problems, just a young man enjoying his life on a lowkey. I was introduced by my friends of course, they introduced me like joke like joke. Then I started smoking continuously like joke like joke. The feeling was good, like really good. I don't do all this Tramadol, Refnol and all other drugs (they are actually all the same thing). I always tell them (friends) it's chemical that weed is natural (God made it). I don't really like alcohol too (I always say they are damaging their liver). I can defend weed with my life. I will bring out health tips and benefits of weed. I was a brand ambassador of weed.

Mind you, if you see me, You wouldn't know I smoke marijuana, that's a trait of weed smokers (don't be deceived thinking all weed smokers have a thick voice or always look like thugs on the street). Very secretive because we know people will judge us and say stuffs like "haa your life don spoil, haa your life don finish (tho this is not true, The life is actually finishing gradually on a slope).

I smoked all through final year, I smoked even before going for final defense. Weed was like a best friend (didn't know it has turned to idol, that's always the end point). There are two types of weed smokers:

-the loners (they mostly like smoking alone),
-the group smokers (they mostly like smoking with friends).

I was mostly a loner. After graduating, when at home, weed was starting to be of less effect on me, the thing does not do me anything again, so I climb the ladder. I started with SK, a higher level. At this point, been an educated smoker that cares about his health, I started getting worried because I personally knew I was damaging my lungs (all smokers knows this but choose to ignore).

I decided to buy a vape pen (its a device for smoking with less smoke). The original was 45k, the chinese brand was 15k. I bought chinese. I used it for a while. Then I realize this vape pen can blow anytime and I will just die. I just went back to my smoking of blunt (the normal paper weed = roasting of lungs). At this stage, I forget things easily, my decision making was poor, my financial management extremely poor, I started becoming an I don't care kinda person, I started getting dehydrated easily, my body system started changing because of the smoke, my productivity was getting low. It affected my finances, I am always broke, it affected my relationship, it affected my whole life.

Weed smokers always have supporting strikers (this are bad habits that the weed gives inspiration/ginger/vibes to do). It can be sex, masturbation (Pornography), gambling, playing games, wasting time doing nothing (scrolling social media/internet) etc. I was a gambler and self service personnel. Things wasn't going well, mind you, You won't be able to tell anybody, You will just hide it to yourself. Depression gang arrived (drugs always lead to depression in the end).

NOTE : The moment I started thinking of quitting weed smoking, that is when it was as if world war 7 just started in my life. If you are a smoker reading this, and you are still enjoying it, You won't have any problem, but the moment you start trying to quit, chaiii, its when the battle just start, just go and wear armor.

The struggling started, I will stop for three days, am back, I will stop for 1wk, I am back, there was this time I stopped for Six good months. I started praying then and getting serious with my spiritual life. I was already like, finally, I don escape. I don't know shaa, I find myself dere again, this time, it was crazy. I smoked SK till I started not feeling anything again. I then climbed the ladder to "loud". At this stage, I wasn't happy with my life personally, but I can't stop. I didn't give up, I wouldn't lie to you, I received grace from above to be able to overcome, sincerely. All praises to My Maker. Now, if you like, put weed in my front, I will just be looking at you.

Conclusion: Trust me, You gonna lose opportunities taking drugs because you would be too high to see opportunities. Mindset is all that matters. You will need to distance yourself from those friends. Weed will always make you feel like the world is crumbling and that you should not stress yourself and just smoke. It will make you take stupid risks. It will change your attitude. If you want, You can be religious and also an hypocrite but the truth is Don't decieve yourself, any addiction you have, face it, be fearless, and don't give up, You will overcome!!!. I will gladly answer any questions. Many are feeling the vibes of weed now, sincerely, they don't know that it is an institution. Parents check your kids because they will never tell you. I told my mum when I overcame by grace, she was just crying, I was just looking at her like, why is this woman crying.

Any Addiction you have on earth, Don't give up, You are not a Slave. Be Fearless!

Please know this as well, all those inspirations, thoughts, vibes that comes when high is from Demons/unclean spirit(I am 100% sure). If you want me to go Spiritual, I will gladly explain, just quote me.

Thank you. APTTMH.
As for me I stone, but very occasionally, my question is this ehh, how is the inspiration it gives demonic? Cuz to me it's second to non in giving artistic inspiration

I started smoking everything smokable from my secondary school days. When I got into uni, it was no new thing to me, and mind you......I started indulging out of curiosity and not peer pressure...I didn't learn from nobody and nobody taught me.

That made me to be incharge of this habit....could easily stop whenever I wanted and start again whenever I feel like. When I decided to stop, I stopped abruptly without knowing the health implications.

I suffered Withdrawal Syndrome Symptoms for 3month......cold,fever,headache,mood swings and many other things just because I didn't withdraw gradually. But as e be shaa, I no dey smoke again.....and I go say your own smoking na childs play compared to mine. I stopped cigarette first though....which is more addictive.

Wetin I dey try talk be say, weed works differently with everybodys body system, I go just talk say e no good for your body.
I know many people that smoke and are still very successful....if we start to dey count, list go long.

So I disagree with you when you say weed makes you lose focus and reasoning.......that was you and not the weed.

I still ask my self why I stopped but can't get an answer because nobody pressurised me to stop,it was just a decision that I took and I'm happy I did.

But I wouldn't remove the fact that I'll still hit a good blunt one of these days before I go 6ft.
