I don't get that problem because I do stuf when I'm high, and it makes those things more fun. I do fun things without weed, but there's just some things that require you to be ripped to get the full mindfuck out of it.
I think if there is a state of mind that we are capable of we should explore it. I am sad when I don't have weed, but not depressed. There are other ways to have fun, and I utilize them!

This is not a treatment. In fact, far from it.
Think of it like a naltrexone analogue. Let me explain. Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist. Basically if you inject it into someone having a heroin overdose, it immediately stops the effects of the opioid via receptor blockade. Although this is a SUPER handy tool for overdose, it isn't that awesome for weed. Why you may ask? Well, you slightly ignorant fool, you cannot overdose from marijuana! (don't start this debate that you can; you can't. Smoke 12 pounds? - I call bullshit)
Although it'll stop the effect of marijuana, it wont stop the user's hedonism or his/her desire to feel high. When naltrexone is used in opioid withdrawal, users get even more of a withdrawal syndrome! Symptoms are worse because they cannot stimulate opioid receptors at all! The best treatment is to get to the core of the problem, not make it impossible for your body to feel high and just suffer from the withdrawal until you start using again!
This drug isn't that cool. Just evil.

I get burned out on being high all the time. I haven't used an illegal drug or alcohol in over ten years. I started smoking when I was 11 YO. I used to fiend for it then but when I smoked all the time, I just got tired of being high all the time.

I've been smoking 20 years and when I'm out...I'm out and it's no big deal. The first few days I really want to smoke but that's as bad as it gets. I'm on day 3 now and I know tomorrow I'll be perfectly fine. I mean seriously,there are more weed addicts seeking help than coke and meth ... I've done all those drugs quite a lot in my younger years and you have to be dumb to think pot is addictive compared to coke,meth or smack. I'm thinking more along the lines of judges are forcing these people to "get help" or go to jail.

I've taken five years, two years, and almost two years off drugs. I get a pleasant, warm feeling when I stop smoking if I've been smoking for a long time.

There is actually a lot of truth to this. Whenever I start smoking heavy daily, tolerance gets so high, being high is just about the same as being sober, and then I pretty much stop weed. For a while until the cycle repeats ahaha

I dont see a problem here as long as its only administered by consent(ie not court ordered). There are definitely people out there who have problems with marijuana.

Me too, lol. I can go a week without dope, feel completely fine.. but gotta smoke every night.
Im not complaining though, because I like it.. and the negative impact is hardly there. The memory issue kinda sucks for things like classes though.

Did you still crave the drugs when taking naltrexone? I was told it doesn't help cravings, maybe you didnt have full withdrawal cause of non-true-addict status?

I didn't have any withdrawal. It helps with cravings to the extent that I rarely follow through on them. But I still have them.

Something just completely soulless about the idea of taking a drug that inhibits pleasure. People always talk about the soullessness of prescription behavior-altering drugs. This would be like that taken to a next level.
