[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Vancouver, Canada where pot has always basically been no big deal and decriminalised. All the people I knew in high school who used regularly never really ended up with real jobs and are basically losers in adult life. People say it’s not addictive, but several of the people I knew in the stoner crowd went on to do many other drugs and ended up in rehab with mixed results. I can’t believe actual parents would set their kids up on the route in life. [/quote]

There is a difference between being physically/chemically addictive like alcohol and heroin and being addictive as an action and feeling you are chasing (or looking to turn off feelings). Video games, food, gambling can be addictive too, you don't have a chemical dependence on Fortnite or black jack obviously vs facing severe physical withdrawl but you can certainly be addicted.

And I believe strongly in cannabis legalization for adult use and am very mad at all the time we lost that we could have spend studying cannabanoid properties in clinical settings. But I know that someone can become addicted to it, much like you can be addicted to shopping, etc. [/quote]
