Don't be embarrassed - people are always telling me they haven't a clue what I'm going on about! :)

Many drugs are addictive, but there are different types of addiction.

Cannabis is psychologically addictive. This means that the user feels as if they want more of it. This feeling can be quite strong, but the user doesn't actually need the drug, and stopping using it will not bring any harmful effects.

Heroin is physically addictive as well as psychologically addictive. This means that the user wants more of the drug and their body actually needs more of the drug. If a heroin user suddenly stops using it, their body will actually become damaged because of this withdrawal. For this reason they need to be weaned off the drug - this is when they use less and less until they can survive without taking any at all. This is a very difficult process, and addicts often relapse (go back to taking it again).

Here is a quick list that shows the different addictive properties of various drugs:

Heroin - physical + psychological
Alcohol - physical + psychological
Amphetamine ('Speed') - physical + psychological
Nicotine - strong psychological
Cocaine - psychological
Ecstasy - mild psychological
Marijuana - mild psychological
LSD - not addictive
Psilocybin (found in 'Magic Mushrooms') - not addictive

Note that this list only covers addictive properties. By itself, this list does not give complete information as to how harmful each of these drugs may be.

I hope that clears things up. I think the writer of the article in post #1 could do with reading up on this kind of thing.

Peace

Absolutely - I have no doubt about that. I was simply explaining what is meant by the terms psychologically and physically addictive. Given the misleading propaganda that formed the first post in this thread, I thought it would be in order to point out a few facts about drugs. Not knowing about drugs can be very dangerous, as people like Leah Betts discovered to their cost.

Peace
 
Agree - drugs are bad.

Disagree - Marijuana is addictive. It is not. Neither are Lsd,Alcohol,Cigarettes.
 
Right bro, so what do you call an alcoholic?;D
And i know guys in my school who smoke weed, and their grades just plummetted to the floor. And they need a bigger dose to get that 'high' each time, they told me themselves. So I don't know what some of the people here are talking about.
And arch_warrior.... please calm down and stop threatening to inject people with drugs!:giggling:
:w:
 
An alcoholic is someone who doesnt want to accept reality,and uses 'alcoholism' as an excuse to get drunk.
As for potheads,yes it is true that they need a bigger dose to get high each time.But that doesnt mean they are addicted.
Drugs are the best way to Numb your natural feelings - such as Sadness. People with broken hearts tend to become Marijuana users,they start drinking and all sorts.But there is no such thing as an addiction.

Sister,..I smoked weed,i used to drink alcohol,i used to do Acid (LSD),and i was a (cigarette) smoker,I've even done speed more times than i can recall.

One day i decided to quit everything.

And i didnt need rehab,i didnt need councelling,i didnt need any sort of 'peer support'.

I went to rehab once,when i was in highschool,..I went to Rehab knowing how to smoke weed,i came out of Rehab with a Diploma in Drugs. I knew more about DRUGS after coming out of rehab,and guess what? I did more and more drugs after i came out of rehab.

So as far as im concerned,people who say they are 'addicted' to something are wuss's,they are scared of reality,they ENJOY being high so much that they dont want to accept reality for what it is.They need to stop telling themselves that they are addicted and tell themselves to get real.

And people such as US need to tell them the same thing,dont give them excuses.

"aww...ur addicted to drugs,poor fellow,...."

Make dua for them,..but dont sympathise them infront of them.

Having said that...

..i do know what im talking about.

Im no hero. But i am a man who has been to the other side,for half my life,And i've found my way back. Im not like many of the people who are contributing to threads such as this on Muslim Forums who sit on the side and talk as if they are experts. Im speaking from experience.

Wa'salaam.

Atleast we agree on something. :giggling:
 
Lol, no we also agreed that dishdash needs a good bash.:p
But it's true, quitting anything takes strength. I was addicted to nasheeds, and it was so hard for me to quit!:'(

lol,did i say he needs a bash? i thought i said 'dont encourage him'? LoL :hiding: :X

Here we go again,back to disagreeing :hmm: I dont agree with "anything takes strength",i would agree with you if you said "anything takes willingness".

For example,i woke up one morning and decided to give up smoking Cigs.
I broke all my cigs in Half and threw them in the Bin.
I havent had any withdrawal symptoms (i used to smoke a pack of 20cigs a day),no mood swings,..Nothing.I didnt require strength to succeed,it was a case of actually Wanting to quit.

Alot of people try to 'quit' for their Parents sake,or their Partners sake etc.

If everybody tried to Quit for Gods sake,they'd be alot more succesful.

Wa'salaam.
 
Are you superman by any chance? Because i don't think i've ever come across anyone with your 'willingness'. And bro, no need to get upset that we disagree. This is a blessing, and insha-Allah we will both gain something. Better to disagree and discuss than live in ignorance.
And yes you did say he needs a good bash:p.
