The charts that say marijuana is as addictive/more than heroin are [b][i][u]COMPLETELY FALSE[/u][/i][/b] heroin/opium addiction causes physical withdrawals that can result in death if addiction is severe enough;
Weed is only psychologically addictive;
Any damn thing you can think of is psychologically addictive on some level
English
-
I just said that. It's like caffeine as far as addiction goes.
-
No caffeine also has physical withdrawals tho far less severe. Marijuana has 0 physical withdrawals
-
Caffeine is addictive because it gives a rush. Marijuana is addictive because it gives a dull. There are no withdrawals.
-
Caffeine has withdrawal symptoms. Fairly serious ones, too. It IS physically addictive, and therefore a poor point of comparison.

Edited by DarthBrando: 10/17/2015 7:27:48 PMCaffeine causes migraines an lethargy and irritability and hypersensitivity/awareness as well as in some cases tinnitus(ringing of ears) when you stop using it after developing a physical dependance to it. Ceasing the use of marijuana causes zero negative side effects physically as a result of stopping the use of the substance
-
Ceasing Marijuana use causes added stress, as you used it as an escape, among other psychological effects. Marijuana is a psychological drug.
-
It causes no [b][i][u]physical[/u][/i][/b] withdrawals; Therefore It is not as addictive as caffeine or tobacco let alone heroine or cocaine as the drug commission claims.
-
People suffer from anxiety, Grouchiness, cravings, or loss of appetite.
-
Edited by DarthBrando: 10/18/2015 1:29:44 AMAnxiety depends on how anxious/paranoid you are when not using weed and you dont get more anxiety than you had before you smoked it. Irritability and grouchy; never had that issue; ild say thats the person's attitude normally Also those are not physical withdrawal side effects.
-
Actually, anxiety is increased because the person has no escape. Anxiety usually leads to irritation. And I noticed that you avoided loss of appetite/cravings.
-
The appetite and food cravings and anxiety return to the levels they were [b][i][u]BEFORE[/u][/i][/b] the person used the drug; they do not increase above that though. I know this first hand over long term and short term use btw.
-
Dear god, that isn't how anxiety works. Anxiety works due to stress. People smoke weed, often times, to just puff the stress away. If said people quit after a while, then stress increases due to the person getting too accustomed to using weed to relax themselves.
-
An im telling you from some one who smoked it for 4 years; stopped for 3.5 then smoked on an off for another 3; Thats not how it works with marijuana. (Thats 10 years both long and short term use)
