Question by Jared W: Marijuana “addiction”?
Now, I agree that marijuana has the potential to be addictive psychologically, not chemically. My evidence to support this is, people (in my experience) only show signs of being “addicted” to it when they can’t have it, not when they don’t have it. Example, my friend “Jim” (im using this name because I’m unaware if anybody who knows him uses yahoo answers) made a promise to himself to not smoke for 3 months, and only days later he was wanting marijuana, but would quickly forget about it, and that is about as bad as it got, at that time he had been, and still is, a long-time marijuana user. To show why I believe this is psychological, I have seen him go for weeks without smoking, without feeling the want or need for it, he was able to smoke at any time during those weeks, he just didn’t choose to, and the whole time he hadn’t been affected even the slightest from it. I personally have gone months without it (I am currently off it right now), and I have felt no need to smoke, but I also haven’t been a smoker as long as him. I wanna know everyones thoughts on marijuana “addiction”, please only serious responses, Do you think its addictive? if so how? if not why? (Again I dont believe its “addictive” any more than the person in question allows it to be)    Read more...

Question by CosmicGrl: Celebrity Rehab ‘Marijuana’ Addict!!???
This is some kind of joke, right? Doesn’t it kind of undermine the fact that marijuana is not a narcotic and is not addictive, as the government’s 80 year failure to provide conclusive evidence has shown? “Marijuana withdrawal is comparable to Heroin withdrawal,” Dr. Drew said to the washed up former child star. Huh? I’ve seen people get a bit cranky when their dealer up the street runs out of supply, but I have yet to this day seen a marijuana ‘user’ suffer through vomiting,seizures/convulsions,night sweats,tremors,the ‘pricklies’ or any other symptom associated with opiate withdrawal. Now, if I were 15 again, I would see this misinformation, and that of the “parternership for a drug free america” ad campaign as I saw the “Just Say No” ads from Nancy Reagan when they began labeling (impoverished) sick people criminals in the 80’s. “I smoke weed and stop without being as miserable as Timmy, my friend the heroin addict.” “The government and the geezers are liars. Have a shot, granny…”    Read more...

Ease Pot Restrictions, Lawmakers UrgeCNNposted: 1 HOUR 38 MINUTES AGOcomments: 1185PrintSharefiled under: Law News, National NewsText SizeAAA(July 30) – The U.S. should stop arresting responsible marijuana users, Rep.
