I really highly doubt that these people are all that addicted. Sure anything that bring pleasure or fun can be addicting mentally. I've been addicted to all kinds of things growing up such as video games and music, but that doesnt mean I couldnt break the habit. Thats basically what it is, a simple habbit. Once you smoke for a while your so use to doing it that it becomes normal. The thing with pot though is that you dont get sick and start sweating like serious addictions. I'm sorry but if you cant stop smoking pot for a few days than you have bigger issues in life. Its likely their life isnt going all that great and their blaming it on their marijuana habbit. It's like when people blame marijuana for being lazy, most people are just lazy in general. If your gonna be lazy your gonna be lazy, pot or no pot.
So we can both agree that the prolonged use of marajuna can exaggerate your negative traits then, thank you.
What about people who had never showed any signs of being paranoid but when they smoke they get paranoid but if they stay away from it they are fine? Is that not a nagative towards the use of pot?
Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!
The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
i had an ex who died from heart failure due to too much THC. And whilst physiological addiction has not been proved, empirical evidence has not dissproved it either. And who is to say that physical dependence is worse than psychological dependence and social/habitual dependence.
With psychological dependence and social/habitual dependence, you still suffer withdrawals... you still suffer from one of the three criteria of tolerance and that is the behavioural conditioning mechanism: Cues associated with the drug (friends you smoke up with, a certain place you smoke, baking brownies..) can function as conditioned stimuli and elicit a conditioned response (a craving..)

I wouldnt say prolonged use of marijuana exagerates your negative traits, its abusing marijuana. I've talked to people who have smoked for 30+ years and they have never had problems because they were responsible. What I mean by abusing it is waking up and smoking everyday and throughout the course of the day after that. If your constantly high or wishing you were high because your coming down from the last high and feeling sluggish, thats what i would call abusing marijuana, if your doing that everyday. And as for people who get paranoid on marijuana, well it may be that marijuana truly isnt for everyone. some people cant handle the higher conciuousness, their thoughts begin to freak them out. Maybe they are scared of true reality. The biggest thing i have learned about marijuana is that its often not a social drug such as alcohol. Unless your around good friends or other smokers its probably likely you will have anxiety and paranoid feelings around strangers and unfamilair situations. So again its about being responsible and knowing when to smoke and where to smoke.

all very interesting.
for that to happen your ex would need to have pre-existing serioussssssssssssssly fucked up heart problems.

I like the second paragraph.
Yes, seriously fucked heart problems previously no doubt.. although i did hear friends of mine say he smoked 18 cones in one hour. *not being into myself, i dont know if that's normal, but it sure sounds like a lot to me! either that or the doc doing the autopsy was on crack
But back to the topic, .. i guess chocolate is a drug.. it acts on the brain's endorphin system, releasing endorphines is rewarding to your body. Chocolate is my drug!
Now gambling isn't a drug, but that's my favourite addiction. Bring on the Black Jack i say.

And lactase is chemically almost identical to Morphine. Did you know that all of us who consume milk products are literally, physically addicted to it to an extent?
