Question by Sky: Why do some prescription drugs have some really adverse effects on people?
I just came out of kidney surgery yesterday for stones–twice this year alone–and the drugs I’m on have made me really jumpy, nervous, wiped out, and just too energetic for my tastes.

Why am I feeling like this? Is it because I don’t have the same tolerance to meds as some people do, or is it because I lack that “addiction” factor that sometimes pops up with blatant drug abuse?

Thanks.

(Yes, they put a stent in me.)

Question by n2it: Marijuana has got to be physically addictive ?
I always hear all this babble about how marijuana isn’t physically addictive.

I agree that pot is great and has many uses. Same for alcohol, caffeine, and prescription medications. They are not physically addictive when used in moderation either.

However anyone who smokes high quality marijuana several times a day for many years will tell you that quitting is extremely difficult.

Especially if that person is a functioning stoner who gets all of their obligations accomplished… but still needs to light up every day.

Whatever cited scientific studies that claim that marijuana isn’t physically addictive need to come study and observe my close group of friends.

Physical withdraw symptoms include inability to eat, mood swings (sometimes violent), inability to sleep, increased anxiety, and old fashioned malaise.    Read more...
