QFT

I know many adults who say they quit when they just got tired of it. I'm only 20, I don't do it often (2-4 times a week) and I even get sick of it somtimes. Just like Josh said...I have never, ever needed it.

This quote is the best: : "On a
relative scale, marijuana is less habit forming than either sugar
or chocolate but more so than anchovies."

False.

I most certainly have withdawl symptoms if I quit smoking.

So does my brother. And so did my Dad.

Everyone is different.

True. Everyone is different. That is why I don't understand how anybody can care what another person puts into their own body. (That partly inspired by the late Bill Hicks)

Exactly.
It also makes you stupid, lazy, and toasts your memory. It's wonderful stuff. 🙂

It does not make you stupid. They were already stupid.

It does make you lazy.

It toasts your short term memory. Not long term. There is a difference. 😉

Did you not read the thread????????

I'll stick to scientific/published/peer-reviewed community for information over the hippie-pro-pot link you have there.

addictive, proven, peer-reviewed, published.

FACT.

Very prejudiced and ignorant statement there. Sounds like some 5th-grade DARE brainwashing to me.

No, not fact... but bigoted and naive... more personal experience and less 2nd-hand quoting please.

I'm sorry, but not everything published in scientic journals or to the scientific community is fully correct.. don't place too much faith in them. I'm not saying erowid is any more or less correct, but that your sources are definately not the end-all.

LOL. At least they are credible.

And as far as personal experience I have seen many people so addicted to weed that they couldn't quit.

No, not in any way shape or form, there is nothing chemically in marijuana itself that is addictive. If you'd like when I get home from work I can copy a section out of my physio book to back this up, and prove whoever is arguing that it's not, correct.

I just simply cannot fathom how anybody could say it isn't addictive when faced with mountains of information and research (from credible sources) that confirms it is.

 

[Kindjal]

While I cannot quote a source - other than my medical background - I believe marijuana is not chemically, i.e. intrinsically addictive, but it could nevertheless lead to psychological addiction. I guess it depends upon your definition of addiction.

 

[CKent]

It's not chemically addictive. Like anything pleasureable, people with addictive personalities can make it their psychological addiction. Other common outlets for psychological addiction are TV, MMORPGs, sex, food and even work.

Pot addictive gives your mind free space and much more.
but affect your mental health also

And what about your grammar?
