No such thing as weed addiction - quit watching Reefer Madness.

One might think a cop was better educated about these things. A dentist knows to brush his teeth.

Well my friend... perhaps you can enlighten me... if you are a user.. with your personal experience.. how much you smoke or introduce MJ into your system.. its effects upon you as self described and how it improves your life vs being without it... and whether you have ....can.. or think you can stop

Absent that I will have to go with legitimate documented studies showing that MJ is addictive... addiction defined as the need for it physically or psychologically... as there are many organizations and people that disagree with your premise... but thanks for caring about my education... I love being educated

Here.. have some education on me... just a brief google of MJ addiction studies and findings

A 20-Year Study on Marijuana Use Yields 5 Surprising Finds (GWPH)

DrugFacts: Marijuana | National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)

Marijuana's Addictive Potential (for the general public) | California Society of Addiction Medicine

Marijuana Myths, Cannabis Facts - Natural Awakenings Boston - January 2015 - Middlesex County, MA

Marijuana Is Addictive | AAPS Blog

What do you think... is it addictive... I mean I know no one wants to admit an addiction to anything... but it seems pretty clear a segment of the MJ population is or will be ... "addicted"


How about the "questions" I asked earlier in this thread.. what would you be willing to give up to have marijuana unfettered in your life


Food
A job
Social welfare
Anything?


Someone.. actually a number of innocent "someones".... is/are being murdered today because of Americas penchant for being high...


Thanks

Your foot must truly taste good for you know not of which you speak..

How much weed comes from the south? All I see is well grown and manicured domestic.
Your well manicured domestic MJ comes at a price... a price I know personally

Cartels grow here as well... substantially in Californias forests..

Cartel workers get kidnapped in Mexico.. have their families threatened... get blindfolded and end up in California 10 hours later in the middle of nowhere... they get told.. grow or die.. and your family dies.. grow and be successful and you'll get money... dont grow ..die...

Pretty strong motivator wouldnt you say...

I know this first hand from capture interviews

legalization opens doors for corporate greed... we agree... which is why Monsanto, Dow, Archer Daniels Midland, and Phillip Morris will take over and there will never be granny twelve plant....

How many died horrible deaths today for your pot?

Way too much red in the US. It's changing though. You just wait.

I find it off though, as I know for a fact in Vietnam, you can order "happy" pizza all over the place.

I'm open for a serious mature discussion on that map.
Why is there hardly any places that have LEGALALIZED POT?"

A good ole fashion debate.

Because almost every country has signed international treaties agreeing to criminalize cannabis.

The residents of the apartment building that were made homeless today from the honey oil explosion last night sure are....

Again.. the questions?

What would you give up for unfettered marijuana use?

Food?

Welfare?

Job opportunities?

Can they be any simpler?
Illogical. Why should I give up ANYTHING? Should I have to give up food to get medication? Of course not.

There are 2 ways to interpret "simple".

One is "uncomplicated".

The other - which is what applies to your statement - is "backward".
