It's not chemically addictive. Honestly people should really pointing fingers at smokers. Majority who smoke know the risks. Sugar is far more dangerous yet and they add it to everything. Weed on the other hand can help the majority with far less side effects then prescription pills. I'd take an edible or spray any day. Although it is far more fun to use a bong.

Good meme but honestly when do you see an angry smoker? Even if he breaks his piece, worst that happens is a bummed high.

I smoke weed to stop the intrusive thoughts and voices in my head.

Thats why you gotta specify mentally addictive. But thats the same as videogame or tv addiction😂

Because habitual doesn't mean addictive, I also have a problem with peanut butter cups.

Personally I thought weed was very addictive, but not in the traditional sense.

Take coffee for instance. When I stopped drinking coffee I had headaches, was a dick for a few days, but that's it. Which is pretty easy compared to, say, heroin (so I hear).

With weed, I didn't have any of that, but I craved the relaxation it brought. The feeling of not giving a fuck about anything for a few hours was great, and I longed for it. I still long for it sometimes. And I think that's the dangerous thing about weed being labeled as "non-addictive."

Just because you don't have a physical reaction to abstaining, doesn't mean the emotional reliance is nothing.

You can get psychologically "addicted" to anything.

Im not sure "addicted" is the right word.

It's hard to break habits. I'm not naive though, I know what it feels like, it's a mind battle.

ya as someone who smokes a lot of weed. its not addictive as in like, i get the shakes if i dont smoke but its def more than peanut butter cups

its def addicting, just not physically so. i feel real uncomfortable if my smoke habit gets disrupted.

[–] Pixlbabble@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago

That's pretty much a habit, I also get uncomfortable when I have to go out when I always have that day free. Peanut butter cups might not be a good example because the sugar is really bad for humans.
