He doesn't know anywhere near what an addict knows, nor will he ever.
The addict knows how the drug makes him feel. The medical research and study knows how the drug effects the body and mind. Many alcoholics and drug addicts are in denial for years about their addiction. "I can give it up anytime I want" is a common phrase. There are many people who can drink or smoke weed and never get addicted. But there are other people who get hooked, use it for a long time regularly, and are addicted but won't admit their addition. When they try to give up the stuff, that's when they realize they're addicted to the stuff.
Marijuana is not physically addictive, like say alcohol. Can it be psychologically addictive, yes, but so can food. You want to ban food as well?
Where under this topic did I ever say I wanted pot to be banned? I responded to people who claim it's not addictive. True, it's not as addictive as cigarettes, cocaine, etc but it can be addictive to some people much like alcohol is addictive to some people. I'd like it to be legal for valid medical use, not like the California medical use which has been abused.

No it can't be. Alcohol is physically addictive, marijuana is not physically addictive. Marijuana can be addictive the same way food or sex are addictive.
Generally conservatives dont seem to be in favor of legalizing marijuana. You would think wanting less government intervention and smaller government would mean legalizing it. A.
The gov should stay out of peoples business when it comes to waht they want to smoke. B. All the government agencies surrounding stopping the marijuana industry cost a fortune and dont really accomplish anything.
Just curious waht your take on this is?
I have two ideas, A. Concservatives tend to be more of a family of values, family. The other thing is the prison industry is a huge industry, we have more people in prison than any other country and private prisons make a fortune off locking up non violent marijauna offenders. Not saying Republicans are in business's pocket because dems are as bad if not worse but its a big money maker locking up people for a plant.
Because we have enough stupid people running around doing stupid things as is. Pot smokers cost the rest of us a lot of money and place innocent non-smokers at risk for all sorts of accidents and injuries that occur because smokers do stupid things. Further dummying down America is NOT what we need to do.
But I will agree that current enforcement laws are impractical. The solution to crime associated with marijuana use is decriminalization of hydroponic cultivation for personal use.
Why aren't Conservatives as a whole in favor of legalizing marijuana?
Conservatives do not use dope to get through live or face their day, addle brained and stoned.
They smoke the FOXpipe instead. Oopsie did I say that out loud?
Whomever up yonder said prescription drugs were the whitey drug of choice under the veil of propriety- I'm watching them kill themselves and it's no less painful to me than poor people watching daddy carted off for crack or whatever. Poor whites apparently have opted for meth these days and they roam the earth as living dead. Not sure whatever happened to that trend of designer drug floating around college campuses years ago.
AND much as it will burn sailordave's behind I had similar experiences growing up. The worst examples were HS peers-- every single one of them smoking pot opted out of college and took jobs like gas attendants if they managed to graduate HS. Go nowhere do nothing didn't suit my lifestyle choice so I walked away. Some serve as excellent examples of what never to allow yourself to become. I think of hash as a fond memory but I don't need it.

Aw, come on. you must have become immediately addicted to it and wandered the face of the earth with a pinched face looking for something to steal and fence. Hashish is nothing but concentrate of marijuana. If marijuana is addictive, hashish must be 50 times moreso.
If you want to know something about addicrtion, ask a drug counsellor who is a recovering addict, not a white-coated speculator who is in it for the money and who can only guess.
