Kick from pot?

LOL

I do see addiction to it but not from all users. Probably the easiest thing for me to walk away from between tobacco, alcohol, and pot.

So the weed won’t do it for them anymore.
They move up to something far worse. Brilliant.

I didn't know you could become addicted to marijuana. Learn something new every day.

Since pot use leads to bi-polar disease, how can you tell if they are more angry than normal?

Marijuana is no more addictive than coffee. Nobody goes through detox withdrawals when they quit.

used MJ a couple dozen times or so circa 1976-78. Walked away after asking myself, what’s the big deal?

Maybe I didn’t use enough to be addicted. If I get stomach cancer may give it another try

No problem quitting and never new any “addicts.”

Worked in corrections 28 years, never met a MJ addict.

Uh, while pot certainly does have some detrimental effects, it’s not addictive.

Now, meth, crack, and heroin, THOSE are addictive!

After enjoying a spliff I naturally gravitate to turkey and bananas.
