Also if you have ne advice on how i should try to get her to stop plz email me my email is xxchaosbeautyxx@yahoo.com plz resond or email me i need advice i dont want anything to happen she wont belive me on ne thing i said she says she isnt but i noe she is cuz she is pressuring one of our friends n she already said no she called her a baby but ya i just dont want any thing to happen to her because i have known here since i was 5 n we are now 13!

Yeah i got an idea: TELL HER F'IN PARENTS. It's their fault anyway. O, and if she asks you to do it, beat the snot out of her. I find that turns people around pretty quick.

GOD i'm good at the counsel stuff.

i believe there talking about Psychological addiction (mental dependence) vs. physical dependence.

By mental dependance are you fellows referring to the chemical dependance?

In the same way that people can be addicted to attention from others, people can be addicted to cocaine and other drugs. This is because of connections in the brain and chemicals released in the brain triggered by elements put into the body and situations (ex. social situations like receiving a generous compliment, etc.).

yeah mental dependance while diffrent in effect still basiclly enslaves you to your vice whatever it may be

quite true daveman. (and ampmaster). mental addiction can be very, very strong. good point.

MJ has not been proved as phsiclly addictive but I'n pretty sure it has been proven to be mentally addictive

The argument that weed is not physically addictive doesn't really say much considering cocaine, crack cocaine, and methamphetimnine are also condisered non physically addictive.

weed is not physically addictive... it just rocks... thats all. haha. it can definitely seem addictive due to the fact that those who do finally give it a chance usually like it so much that they continue to use it. it is fairly pushy to call someone a baby for not doing drugs with you though.

There is no scientific evidence of marijuana being in any way, physically addictive. However, it is in some cases habit forming. If they dont want to stop, DONT BOTHER THEM. They like it? LEAVE THEM ALONE. Unless this person is going to get themselves into trouble, dont "help" them. If they need serious help, the best thing that you can do is talk with them. Separate them from the chronic for a while, theyll be all right.

Ok, well every one knows people who are addicted to something, from weed to sex. I am sorry that your friend is addicted, but I really can to anything bout it.

Censorship.

shaddup, don't post if you aren't contributing to the converstaion spammer

Hey...I think there should be way more talk about sex education and it shouldn't be so taboo to talk about it. I like the way http://www.sexetc.org talks about sex education and they have great stories about real sensorship and stuff.

Have you been addicted to anything? I have and I fight that addiction every day it doesn't matter what it is from porn to cocaine to booze any addiction is hard to break trust someones who been there and is fighting to come back

yeah addictions are so diffrent some may be stronger than others but pot is still a very strong addiction

Addictions can be quite different from person to person, but gerneralizing pot as having a very strong addiction is ridiculous.

Who's back?

Oh, she's back!

What is the matter with you Jamaica? You criticize YN a hell of a lot but for some reason you keep on coming back...

I think my friend is addicted.

---this is the WRONG place to ask for help.

Most of the people here in youthnoise is pretty much addicted to drugs (bauhaus), cursing, drugs, abortion, sex...you name it.

They banned me because I was just too good. *jam gushes*

They don't want to hear my rant about why premarital sex isn't ok, why drugs are bad for the health and etc.

But.....I guess that's the life here in YN.

You only get heard if you are famous, if you curse, or if you can come up with sentences that has a lot of cursing in it.

You can be addicted to both though. So you could be a heroin/pot addict. My great, great uncle died from being a morphine/heroin addict. (Actually, first he was a morphine addict from WWI wounds, then to replace the morphine addiction, he started buying heroin, and was killed by a drug lord. Cute, I know.) So you can be more
