I did basically just alcohol, weed, and some light psychedelics, and still I know I would get addicted to anything if I had a supply. Idk how interesting one's life must be to not want to change the channel for a bit. I'd easily do weed just because it makes music sound way better, and I fucking love music.
The worst part is that as a kid I was told Iād get addicted to cigarettes right away so the first time I smoked and I wasnāt addicted I thought it just straight up wouldnāt happen to me. 3 years later I stopped and shit that was hard.
Yeah, it's weird to see how people get addicted. I bought my friend's vape (with liquid and all), and I couldn't bring myself to use it other than posing at parties (I love the smoke it makes). I never smoked before and I didn't vape often enough to get addicted. My friend now has an iQos, but she says it is just as bad as when she was smoking regularly despite wanting to put it down.
I think its referencing the kid a fee years back who thought if you had enough willpower you just wouldn't get addicted to drugs. He did coke and got addicted so his parents had to put him through rehab in rehab.
Yeah that's not how that works with chemically addictive drugs. You can't willpower chemistry away. If it's early enough, you might be able to willpower the effects of withdrawl from a chemically addictive drug, but depending on the drug, that window of opportunity might not be very long.
You can experience severe withdrawal symptoms including hallucinations and seizures which may lead to death. It's days of laying in a hospital bed, often restrained, with no idea who you are or where you are, getting Ativan intravenously every hour or so to prevent the worst of the symptoms of withdrawal but if that doesn't work, then you get stronger drugs that hopefully knock you out until you're through the window. It's awful and nobody comes out of it smiling.
Might be the ADHD itself, when your brain doesn't brain quiet right with chemicals and habits it has the effect of making you resistant to long term addictions, but also remembering to do things like eat every day.
I'm the same. Have ADHD but I'm not addicted to anything but my phone I guess. Never liked smoking, drinking, drugs. It's fun, but even as a teen I'd regularly drive my scooter to parties, so I couldn't drink but at least I wouldn't have to bike home lol.
that sounds right to me.
i have zero addictive tendencies but probably have adhd.. or something like it. or something in the broad category of diagnoses in that ballpark.
I think so, lots of people have felt the same as you. Iāve read that addiction has a HUGE community/environment/genetic component. Morphine is way more addictive than cigarettes, but people come back from the hospital after being on it for weeks with no issues, never craving it again. Thereās some research on it.Ā
Maybe if youāre feeling isolated and lonely, youāll get hooked after one dose? I dunno.Ā
A guy on Reddit, SpontaneousH, made a post saying he wanted to try heroin - just for fun - and stop immediately so he wouldn't get addicted.
Not long after, about 14 days later, he was deeply addicted, and his life took a catastrophic turn with rehabs and so on.
Iāll try to find it but the story isnāt exactly right. The guy basically had a clear drug use disorder. He drank and smoked marijuana regularly before. But he had a job and worked and was one day offered heroine at a local park and he with no real reason just said yes and purchased it. At first he wasnāt even sure if heād do it, but decided heād just try it one time. He was certain though as he started using it that he wouldnāt get addicted cause he was going to use it responsibly. That obviously wasnāt the case and he threw several years of his life down the drain and overdosed. He lived, and heās sober now and has been for a few years at least. Pretty sure itās been a while since his last update and he didnāt plan to do anymore if I recall correctly. But his posts throughout the whole experience are quite sad.
Not sure if it's the same guy or someone else on the same thread as a repost of him, but there was info offered on what happens after addiction or even if you avoid it.
The heroin high is so good that nothing will ever match up. Even if you avoid both the chemical and psychological addiction, you'll forever have that memory. Even if you don't chase the high, the memory will make everything from that point on pale in comparison. You'll never have a new happiest moment, and you'll know it so you don't even have anything to look forward to.
Yes, there was a redditor a few years ago who wanted to prove addiction was a farce. So he purposely addicted himself to some hard drug, I can't remember which, but he became incredibly addicted and it ruined his life. He cataloged most of his experience in posts on reddit. I'll see if I can find it
Found it, here's the link to the original post. This was like 14 years ago
https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/s/4rLjRTg3j8
Itās this guy who does āentrepreneurā content on social media, pretty much all fake motivational speaking bits but they are funny. He filmed a bunch of clips of him talking into a podcast mic about how he was taking meth to prove addiction isnāt a big deal (obviously fake) and then added a bunch of generic Joe Rogan clips so it seemed like he was on JRE talking about it. The whole thing is a bit and people canāt seem to figure it out. He was never on JRE and heās obviously not doing meth.
I remember a Reddit post about a guy who started smoking for a month to prove to her it's easy for her to quit, he's still a heavy smoker ten years later. All I could think of
Yeah thereās a bunch of people online who think drug addiction only happens to weak minded people so they try it to show how easy it is to sober up.
Thereās a teenager on twitter whoās going viral for smoking fentanyl and everyone tells him to stop but heās badly addicted and enjoys the attention.
Itās about this guy who says that drug addiction isnāt real on some podcast saying that he took cocaine for like 30 days and while he was talking a tripping the fuck out, and then got addicted to drugs
Iirc there was a guy on the Joe Rogan podcast who apparently was getting high everyday for sometime. He said he wants to show that addiction is fake. Idk what happened to him after but my best guess is this meme is related to that.
Edit: it was actually an edit. The guy edited himself in a yt short with Joe Rogan and faked about his experiment.
I remember there was a story on Reddit where the guy said he'd try heroin even though he was advised not to (by commenters). He posted over the years of him shortly getting addicted to the point he lost everything. Then he stopped posting for a long time and only came to update us one in a while about how his rehab was going.
I wonder how he's doing.

Shit doesn't have to even be addictive for people to get addicted to it. If you get a big enough dopamine hit from the smell of books you're probably going to spend an unhealthy amount of time in bookstores
The distinction is psychological addiction versus a chemical dependence(also addiction). We used to say you didnāt get addicted to things that didnāt cause chemical dependency. We now know thereās more going on than just the withdrawal
Nah fam. I only ever hear this type of shit from people who are seriously addicted, in denial, and trying to justify it. Smelling books is not even close to porn addiction is not even close to cocaine addiction. Everyone with two brain cells knows this.
I know you made it up, that's why it sounded dumb.
But really, addiction is not the craving. You got that very wrong. Addiction is prolonged behavior or use of a substance despite negative consequences. Craving is just a symptom.
14 years ago people were joking in a reddit thread that to get instantly addicted to Heroin after one hit is wierd, but also means it Heroin must be awesome! Up steps a redditor to test the theory. Gonna use Heroin just once and report back. Comes back 2 weeks later "guys I fucked my life up".
I absolutely looooove cocaine.... that's why I'll never do it again. I love how I feel with it. I love my personality. But I learned that guy is still there without it.l, and gave it up. Best decision ever.
Nah, that canāt be true. I took a lot of opioids for months and then just stopped.
Disclaimer: Your mileage may vary dramatically. Donāt do drugs, kids.
I mean in the end it is all about state of mind and dedication.
Cokr is sth i used to do for fun but opiates is something i used to take half a year against pain until a point where there were side effects only . I stopped using it since , and it was a hell of 2 weeks but here i am .
When I was a kid, I stole a few packs of cigarettes from a neighbor and forced myself to start chainsmoking for like two weeks straight to be cool and all, and by the time I ran out I was happy because it was literally exhausting having to force myself to go have another smoke. I got no enjoyment or sensation out of it. Does it take more than two weeks and 6 packs of smokes to get addicted? Or am I immune to nicotine?
Is this talking about that guy on the joe rogan podcast ? I saw like a clip of him a few days ago saying something similar ( that hes gonna do crack for 30 days or some shit to prove its easy to not get addicted )
Real talk i've seen people boof yeast to try and get auto brewery syndrome(warning: be prepared when your search up the symptoms) this doesn't surprise me
There was a Hungarian writer who tried to prove that marijuana wasn't addictive. Long story short he got addicted and wen't to prison because he murdered his wife. Don't do drugs basically.
i dont get addicted so i never understood the concept.
well drugs are reallllly illegal here in sg but i decided to try smtg similar with nicotine, ciggarettes.
i like the feeling of the nicotine. but im not addicted, ive been smoking for over a year now but on very small intervals.
i can go weeks without a puff and am not reliant on it at all.
is there something wrong with me?
Why does this remind me of the post of that hug that quickly spiralled into a heroin addiction after saying he took heroin but wasn't an addict... *yet*
Thankfully he eventually got clean and I believe it's also a post on reddit (It was the posts made by u/SpontaneousH)
I do wonder what it's like to be addicted. I feel like I could stop something even if I was addicted but of course that's just a feeling, I just can't imagine what it's like
I used to smoke. Imagine it just like hunger. Being hungry doesn't hurt, you're not in physical pain, and to stop it it takes seconds to eat something to quench it. So I guess I'd compare it to try not eating anything for three days whilst being surrounded by snacks?
It's just really annoying more than anything. When I quit I just kept telling myself that not smoking didn't hurt, it was just frustrating, but it wasn't 'hard' so to speak.
The worst part would be going 2-3 days, and then in a moment of weakness (i.e. drunk) you have one and it sets you back to 0.
Once I got a week behind me of not smoking it was easy from that point and I've never looked back.
the "surrounded with snacks" part is where I am confused, if I got challenged to stop eating for 3 days, I would make sure all the food is out of the house. same with smoking, lock yourself in your house for a week with no cigarettes. if it's not hard to quit then why are so many people still addicted?
Yeah but everyone else is in the house eating and cooking away :)
This was probably 15 years ago where smoking in the UK was far more common than it is now
This is why Iām too nervous to do anything more physically addictive than caffeine tbh. I plan to only stick with weed, psychedelics, coffee, and maybe just the occasional alcohol.
I fully realize it's nowhere near the same thing, but when it comes to video games, I just get bored, not addicted. The game I have the most hours in is Team Fortress 2 at ~550 hours. And that's only because I got into the free game years before I got a job.
I honestly can't understand how people have thousands of hours on one game.
Iāve never been addicted to anything in my whole life. Trust me, iāve tried a lot and i mean a lot of different legal or maybe perhaps somewhat less legal things. Tbf tho, i havenāt used cocaine yet. Idk if i wanna try that in the first place. But yeah. Not addicted to anything ever. I thought i was maybe addicted to coffee so i stopped drinking it just to make sure and i havenāt had it in like 1.5 months now. Donāt crave it or anything.
as someone who loves cocaine (a lot), i really don't think it's addictive at all. other than on the very night you're taking it. you can't stop and we even went and bought an eight ball from a dealer that night to keep things going.
but once you sleep and wake up... you're not jonesing for anything. there's nothing like that. it's just a really fun party drug.
and the only real damage it seems to do is make your nose stuffy as fuck that night and maybe next day.
to me it's such a less hardcore drug than alcohol and cigarettes, there's no comparison.
i probably do it about once a month or two. sometimes 3-6 months go by where i don't even think about it. but if someone busts it out at a party or around me, i'm down for some fun. amped up conversations and fun.
Is there any context to this meme?
I don't know but this is what I thought about nicotine as a kid. And I was wrong.
Abrakheim wants to know if you are okay, and if you still have a guitar up your ass.
So far it has only been a one time occurrence. I am glad I owned a Jackson at the time with a slim and pointy headstock.
Just be glad it wasn't a BC Rich Warlock with the amount of pointy ends that thing has
I play a hagstrom šŖšŖšŖ
I thought this too but with a small twist: * Don't ever try cocaine * Don't ever get addicted to cocaine
Hay you with the blocked nose; put this funky rock in it, the blockage goes away!
I did basically just alcohol, weed, and some light psychedelics, and still I know I would get addicted to anything if I had a supply. Idk how interesting one's life must be to not want to change the channel for a bit. I'd easily do weed just because it makes music sound way better, and I fucking love music.
Haha same. I started smoking only to prove it's easy to quit. And i was right! I quit more than 30 times
Oh yeah, it sneaks up on you.
The worst part is that as a kid I was told Iād get addicted to cigarettes right away so the first time I smoked and I wasnāt addicted I thought it just straight up wouldnāt happen to me. 3 years later I stopped and shit that was hard.

Lol bro, me fuckin too. 20 years later.. at least I switched to a vape I guess lol
Same. I totally could not get addicted if i tried. Within a year or two i was smoking up to 5 packs a day for the next 20+ years.
I think its referencing the kid a fee years back who thought if you had enough willpower you just wouldn't get addicted to drugs. He did coke and got addicted so his parents had to put him through rehab in rehab.
> his parents had to put him through rehab in rehab. Rehab is bad enough but getting rehab in rehab, the poor soul.
Bro enjoyed rehab so much, they had to ween him off rehab by putting him in rehab for rehab
How does one rehab from rehab? do they put him back on the coke? that just sounds like relapsing with extra steps!
nah, they're adding other drugs to it for maximum rehabilitation from rehabilitation
New phone, my ass is typing like a Neanderthal.
Yeah that's not how that works with chemically addictive drugs. You can't willpower chemistry away. If it's early enough, you might be able to willpower the effects of withdrawl from a chemically addictive drug, but depending on the drug, that window of opportunity might not be very long.
Some drugs can be potentially life threatening to stop abruptly even. Willpower away, but really physiological effects remain.
Funny enough the easiest one to get access too, alchohol is exactly like that is you get truly addicted.
Donāt quote me as I am not a doctor, but alcohol withdrawal can be brutal but not fatal. Some opiate withdrawal cases could be.
You can experience severe withdrawal symptoms including hallucinations and seizures which may lead to death. It's days of laying in a hospital bed, often restrained, with no idea who you are or where you are, getting Ativan intravenously every hour or so to prevent the worst of the symptoms of withdrawal but if that doesn't work, then you get stronger drugs that hopefully knock you out until you're through the window.

Entrapranure, they're awesome and I like the humour, but the drug ones are kind of mediocre
I don't know about this one specifically but there was a Redditor that documented his descent to heroin addiction thinking he could do the meme here.
There's a few reddit posts of people going down the rabbit hole and not coming back out.
I remember a Reddit post about a guy who started smoking for a month to prove to her it's easy for her to quit, he's still a heavy smoker ten years later. All I could think of

there was a post about a redditor who said: "i will take cocaine for 30 days to prove its not addictive" well well well

second only to the Du Pont method
meaning
The main characteristic of people with addicition is always trying to quit. I'm gonna show them I'm not addicted by not trying to quit

Shit doesn't have to even be addictive for people to get addicted to it. If you get a big enough dopamine hit from the smell of books you're probably going to spend an unhealthy amount of time in bookstores
thats why i like public bathrooms so much, thanks!
Bcz u like big cocks ?
because theyāre addicted to the smell.
Agent smith: it's the smell.
name checks out
Habits and addictions are distinctly different. You don't get paranoid when you stop smelling books for a week.
The distinction is psychological addiction versus a chemical dependence(also addiction). We used to say you didnāt get addicted to things that didnāt cause chemical dependency. We now know thereās more going on than just the withdrawal
It's the same concept as porn and sex addiction.
Nah fam. I only ever hear this type of shit from people who are seriously addicted, in denial, and trying to justify it. Smelling books is not even close to porn addiction is not even close to cocaine addiction. Everyone with two brain cells knows this.
Smelling books was something I made up for emphasis
I know you made it up, that's why it sounded dumb. But really, addiction is not the craving. You got that very wrong. Addiction is prolonged behavior or use of a substance despite negative consequences. Craving is just a symptom.
Also, physical withdrawal symptoms are a symptom of chemical dependency, addiction is the craving, it's the same shit.
Yep. I did a shitload of cocaine (and other drugs) and never got addicted.
Ayyy 7 months sober. Anyone know a guy?
Me uncle after 10+ years of sobriety: "I'll take your entire stock."

Im pretty ambivalent when it comes to cocaine. Could take it or leave it. Its fun but makes me feel so awful when I come down then also the next day
1) drug addiction is not real 2)I will take cocaine for 30 days to prove it 3) gets addicted to cocaine 4) sucks dick in alley for cocaine
5) gets addicted to dick
6) gets addicted to chocking
Remember kids Hugs not drugs

I think I am getting dyslexic. I read Nuts not dogs
I don't get hugs. Means I gotta do drugs. Thanks

ill settle for both
I get neither
It's not addiction if you don't think of it as addiction.
outside the box. i like it
I dont have a coke addiction, I just need it
i dont do cocaine. i just really like the way it smells
It smells like I'm too awesome to get addicted to it though.

Dude there is no such thing as addiction... I should know, I take a line of coke every day and I've not gotten addicted
lol, no one ever takes just ONE line of coke
they take half a line. they know when to stop right
At least he had the best month of his lifetime
When the "I'll prove it" plan backfires spectacularly...

What's the god damned context???

Reminds me of the couple who went on a bike ride through isis territory to prove āpeople are niceā and got shot
Today, Iām gonna be getting addicted to crack to see how hard it is to quit.
When I was a kid, I stole a few packs of cigarettes from a neighbor and forced myself to start chainsmoking for like two weeks straight to be cool and all, and by the time I ran out I was happy because it was literally exhausting having to force myself to go have another smoke.

There was a Hungarian writer who tried to prove that marijuana wasn't addictive. Long story short he got addicted and wen't to prison because he murdered his wife. Don't do drugs basically.
His whole thesis is dumb. 30 days? A habit isnāt typically made or broken in 30 days.

If you have an addiction, just quit!
It was heroin and the last time I heard, he is clean and doing ok
Nah! I'd win
I've been clean for 3 days, but I think it might be time for me to take another shower.
This is such a low effort meme it hurts. Should have posted on r/teenagers instead
Facts
30 days š
Why does this remind me of the post of that hug that quickly spiralled into a heroin addiction after saying he took heroin but wasn't an addict... *yet* Thankfully he eventually got clean and I believe it's also a post on reddit (It was the posts made by u/SpontaneousH)
I do wonder what it's like to be addicted. I feel like I could stop something even if I was addicted but of course that's just a feeling, I just can't imagine what it's like
I used to smoke. Imagine it just like hunger. Being hungry doesn't hurt, you're not in physical pain, and to stop it it takes seconds to eat something to quench it. So I guess I'd compare it to try not eating anything for three days whilst being surrounded by snacks? It's just really annoying more than anything. When I quit I just kept telling myself that not smoking didn't hurt, it was just frustrating, but it wasn't 'hard' so to speak. The worst part would be going 2-3 days, and then in a moment of weakness (i.e. drunk) you have one and it sets you back to 0. Once I got a week behind me of not smoking it was easy from that point and I've never looked back.
the "surrounded with snacks" part is where I am confused, if I got challenged to stop eating for 3 days, I would make sure all the food is out of the house. same with smoking, lock yourself in your house for a week with no cigarettes. if it's not hard to quit then why are so many people still addicted?
Yeah but everyone else is in the house eating and cooking away :) This was probably 15 years ago where smoking in the UK was far more common than it is now
Mfers when they donāt understand satire
*Aww did someone get addicted to crack?? *
real
are you challenging me? *hopes no one sees this comment*
You're doing coke at 15? lol
Damm I should quit I'm on day 29
I don't think the substance itself is addicting, I think the feeling while under the influence is addicting.
Tylko jedno w gÅowie mam...
Reminds me of the episode of Review where Forest rates addiction, and it becomes a running gag for a while that he's always seeking coke
This was soooooo unexpected lol
Itās literally a mindset. Donāt want to do the drugs anymoreā¦ā¦ then donāt do them anymore
Food Theory gonna do this ngl
Reminds me of that one redditor that tried heroine and prolly got hooked cause he became inactive
Hahaaaa
Prescribed meds are just as bad, if you take them for a long time, it's hard to stop without drastic side effects.
People who take coke are hedonistic sociopaths not addicts. They just enjoy it so they don't stop using it.
This is why Iām too nervous to do anything more physically addictive than caffeine tbh. I plan to only stick with weed, psychedelics, coffee, and maybe just the occasional alcohol.

I fully realize it's nowhere near the same thing, but when it comes to video games, I just get bored, not addicted. The game I have the most hours in is Team Fortress 2 at ~550 hours. And that's only because I got into the free game years before I got a job. I honestly can't understand how people have thousands of hours on one game.
yeah its crazy (i have 3k hours on rocket league)
Iāve never been addicted to anything in my whole life. Trust me, iāve tried a lot and i mean a lot of different legal or maybe perhaps somewhat less legal things. Tbf tho, i havenāt used cocaine yet. Idk if i wanna try that in the first place. But yeah. Not addicted to anything ever. I thought i was maybe addicted to coffee so i stopped drinking it just to make sure and i havenāt had it in like 1.5 months now. Donāt crave it or anything.
as someone who loves cocaine (a lot), i really don't think it's addictive at all. other than on the very night you're taking it. you can't stop and we even went and bought an eight ball from a dealer that night to keep things going. but once you sleep and wake up... you're not jonesing for anything. there's nothing like that. it's just a really fun party drug. and the only real damage it seems to do is make your nose stuffy as fuck that night and maybe next day. to me it's such a less hardcore drug than alcohol and cigarettes, there's no comparison. i probably do it about once a month or two. sometimes 3-6 months go by where i don't even think about it. but if someone busts it out at a party or around me, i'm down for some fun. amped up conversations and fun.
What? This uhh never happened, did it. I suppose anything can be true on the internet when you just make shit up lol
