I used pot for 12 years fro this reason but I can assure it DOES have side
effects and quite unpleasant ones too. It IS addictive, and has physical
consequences. It DOES have a PHYSICAL withdrawal effect: high anxiety,
sweats, sleeplessness, muscle pain, stomach cramps, cold sweats and flushes,
impotence.
Don't take my word for but do a search on the net for Marijuana and you will
come across info from a 12 step group Marijuana Anonymous and you will find
even more adverse effects reported by those who quit.
I have also been thru Valium withdrawl which is appalling, truly, but I
wouldn't want to go thru either again. Oh, and the Valium withdrawal had
nothing to do with abusing it either. i stuck to the dose given my the doc.
But it has a physical addiction aspect to it which can heppen withing weeks,
sometimes as short as two. You start to withdraw even tho you are still
taking the same amount becasue the body requires more. It took 9 mhts of
cutting down by 1 mg a week and hell for me to get off it completely. I You
have to be carefull because withdrawl can be extrememyl dangerous-seizures
and heart problems.
Such a pity-Valium is the best drug I have ever had.(and I have had
loads-From 15 my doctors taught me if I didn't like how I felt I could
change it with one of their potions. I wised up eventually)
