Tobacco & weed: Cigarette smoking, impairs ur lungs &  respiratory functions, ur blood vessels, ur heart &  kidneys, ur bladder, ur skin, etc. But not so much ur brain. Big smokers keep their mind clear. On the opposite, mj is very dangerous to the brain & may trigger "bad trip" w/ high anxiety, paranoid iideation, depersonalization, etc. Best advice is 4 u 2 quit both of them slowly under medical monitoring..

Question 5

could i become addicted by trying a little recreational weed?

Accepted Answer

Possible, yes: Likely no.  If a person never takes the first drink or drug, they can never get dependent on it.  Addiction is more than the amount of drug that is used; it is when the drug hijacks your life, you are no longer in control of it, it causes harm in your life, yet you don't stop, you try to stop it, and maybe you can for a while, but you go back to it.  Use despite harm and loss of control are major.

Question 6

i'm addicted to the shaytards!!!?

Accepted Answer

That's not addiction: It's infatuation, and at your age a little embarrassing, I imagine.  Is there a question in there somewhere?  If your zeal for this music is getting in the way of your life, and you can't do what you need to do because of it, you are in need of either a life coach or a counselor (or both).  I would talk to a mental health professional about your issues.

Question 7

could you be addicted to a person?

Accepted Answer

Addicted to person: Yes, but being addicted to a person is nothing like being addicted to a medication or drug.  They are like apples and oranges.

Question 8

what are signs that you are addicted to something.?

Accepted Answer

Addiction: Is the behavior keeping you from functioning at work or home?  Are you staying up late at night and/or wasting time w/the behavior? Is is causing health, social, or financial problems for you?  Lying to self or others? Please see your doctor for starts and then follow up w/a mental health professional who specializes in addiction.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

what happens to babies whose moms are addicted?

Accepted Answer

After detox: They will develop normally.   Unfortunately,  they often start with disadvantages and don't catch up.  What is of concern is increased tendency to addiction when older.

Question 10

what makes someone become addicted?

Accepted Answer

Depends who you ask: If you are a victim, then it is a crime. If you are arrested for doing it, you claim it is an illness. If you are a doctor treating an addict  then you might think it is a personality disorder. If you are a lawyer, then it is a legal definition. Addicts dont always think of themselves as addicts. It also varies in different cultures.
