What’s the Best Way to Beat Internet Addiction?

Question by the last ninja: What’s the best way to beat internet addiction?
It’s the new year and resolution time again, and more specifically, it’s break-your-resolution time again as well. And I already have.

I know this is a difficult question, and everyone’s different blah blah blah. And I see the irony in asking how to beat internet addiction in an online forum. I just wanted any tips from people who have learnt to control the amount of time they spend on the net.

What the Hell Happened to My Friend When He Smoked a Joint?

Question by Dave S: What the hell happened to my friend when he smoked a joint?
My friend said he wanted to smoke some MJ for the first time so I gave him some for his first try. He called me early the next morning and told me that he had one of the worst experiences hed had in a long time. He said that after taking making 3 puffs from a joint that he started to feel lightheaded and suffered at first a mild anxiety attack. He said that after a while, the paranoia and anxiety had gotten so extreme that he had trouble sleeping and his heart was racing faster than it had ever been before. He said it took around 3-4 hours for the effects to wear off and he wasn’t the least bit “high”. Although i find this story hard to believe myself, he has never lied to me. I want to give him some advice but I don’t know if this was caused from some kind of an allergic reaction or what? I’m pretty concerned about his health as I have never even experienced slight paranoia from smoking.. and wondering why he had such an extreme panic attack… as he is usually laid back
