Marijuana Addiction?

Oh. My. Gawd.:BangHead:


I was going to rebut this article after the first two paragraphs....the it got sooooo weird and full of false or twisted info I realized it would be a multi paged, footnoted, wall-o-text nobody would ever read.


Read, please please read it. Then pass it along with your pro pot friends so they know how insane many anti's still are. Race baiting, hysteria tactics, overstated risk, overstated damage.


The false associations.....Here's a lulu; "Black's are "NOW" more likely to use marijuana..." (as mentioned in the article) Now? Really? Now? Just now that's happened?:eusa_eh:


If you look at the arrest rates I'd assume that's been the case for a generation or two. Unless the Prosecution rates are just exponentially higher for blacks? But then, of course, that may lead to a rational discussion about something that actually matters to somebody who actually thinks for themselves.....which the above linked article most certainly...is....not.

I don't know...I knew a kid named gene the fiend that,would smoke seeds and stems and shit when I was young

 

Dude....look at it this way. The first awareness altering behavior any of us exhibits is spinning. Yes spinning. We spun as kids until we got stupid dizzy and fell down. The dizzier the better. Ever since, we've used chemicals as adults to recreate various aspects of that initial experience. Might as well call it a "Dizziness disorder" and try to reform kids who spin alot.....you know who are.


Humans seek altered consciousness, either habitually, or, recreationally. The chemical, or inducing behavior, of choice is irrelevant. The extreme of the behavior and dangerousness of chemical is the relevant issue. At this point, cannabis is far below the inherent risk involved in almost every other awareness altering drug and behavior known to man. Period. End. Absolutely conclusive.


The choice? Avoid overindulgence of anything and be aware of "real" risk factors. Or abstain. But ignore hypersensationalized trash put out by the author of the linked article.


about ranting...this kind of shit makes my blood boil.:bong-2:

 

i think the physical addiction is bullshit but i do feel some truth to the mental addiction.


but i think it's abnormal to become mentally addicted, but people have porn addictions, i'm pretty sure you won't die from not watching porn...but they are addicted in their mind non the less


but just because some people can't get off without watching porn, doesn't mean it's the porn industry's fault....it just means that dude has a mental disorder.


it's like 12 step NA/AA or anything else, people that need those progrms just have addictive personalities. They are trading one addiction (drugs) for another (meetings)

 

I have never met anyone who has been physical addicted to weed, love smoking yes and some smoke more than others and the mental part I think is just the wanting to get high not like your going to get sick if you dont. The people who wright these articles most likely either never smoked or still have the reefer madness mentality.
