“Marijuana use can lead to the development of problem use, known as a marijuana use disorder, which takes the form of addiction in severe cases. Recent data suggest that 30 percent of those who use marijuana may have some degree of marijuana use disorder.18 People who begin using marijuana before the age of 18 are four to seven times more likely to develop a marijuana use disorder than adults.19” (NIH)

Like nicotine. Some folks smoke one cigarette and are hooked for years and others smoke for years and are not addicted and can drop them without any withdrawal.

Trying taking Xanax every day for a year and then stopping cold turkey.

You will know what addiction is then.

I’m just kidding, don’t do that, because that is an actual addictive substance.

I will have to read that research later though, mark, because I am about to leave, but I intend to do that.

It likely will not sway me though, because as a former pill addict, I know what true addiction is, and MJ does not cause that at all.
