...Any of them can quit anytime they want to with no problem

Define “Want To”
Yes, there will be no major withdrawal symptoms
But Pot seems to degrade ones command pathways
so they cease to “want” self control

It’s all in how you look at it

I don’t know much at all about the topic but I do have a curious question; If THC is not addicting, then why is it that when they advertise for CBD oil they always seem to harp on the fact that it’s the non-habit-forming component of marijuana?

When I was younger the stupid or willful killed themselves off. Now, after years of coddling, those folks are teaching our children. When we try to protect everyone from themselves we are no different from the fascists that try to run everyone's lives. Parents need to teach their daughters that its not a good idea to sleep around, teach all their kids not to drink and drive or generally do drugs. We don't need the government handing out condoms or arresting our kids for a bag of weed.

If the parents fail... the kids fail - and ain't that basically Biblical.

Actually, the government should spend some effort scraping the human swill off the streets and reopen the institutions.

Define “Want To”

I will do that.

Anytime a pot smoker wants to stop smoking, all they have to do is stop smoking, and then it’s over.

When the xanax addict wants to quit, he must consider how to do this very carefully, because he may very well die. Let me tell you, that s*** will screw your CNS up SO BADLY that your soul may well decide it can no longer inhabit its vessel.

I think it’s really important to consider the difference between things that may well be habit forming, and things that will actually cause chemical dependence.

None of these people know what it means to have to wake up every day and make sure that, on your list of needs for the day, right after consumption of oxygen resides consumption of xanax, or the result will be the same.

That is what an addiction is.
