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.
... That is what an addiction is
I understand the horrible physical consequences of addictions
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt
Pot is not “like that”
It does seem to degrade one’s self command
Pre-frontal cortex activity, so it’s not that they “can’t” quit
It is they can lose the will to “want to”

“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.”
Interesting analogy and perspective. So oxygen is more addictive than Xanax.
Oxygen is needed for survival. And for some deeply depressed people, I guess, so is xanax?
So not all addictions are bad, considering the alternatives.
