Anyone who things that THC (and cannaboids?) isn’t addictive either doesn’t know anyone who is “chronic” or is completely ignorant to their dependent behavior.
It is NOT addictive beyond the few days that you are bummed out that you ran out.
alcohol on the other hand....
Just because a person wants to do something doesn’t mean that person is addicted to that thing, even if they want to do it really darn badly all the time.
Physical addiction to a substance is totally different.
Have no problem at all with the non-psychoactive cannabinoid, Cannabidiol, which can be produced from HEMP plants now genetically re-engineered to produce only Cannabidiol and ZERO THC (the psychoactive stoner component). CBD oil can be incorporated in agents as a pain reliever (non-opioid) topical, oral and vaped. CBD is a component of recently FDA approved seizure disorder pharmaceutical from the UK. The Israelis have patented the hemp/cannabis that has ZERO to almost zero THC. They are marketing this CBD oil source, as well as potentially breaking the Canadian “lock” on fiber producing Hemp plants.
THC has zero.. no clinical value as a pain reliever. It is legally approved (synthetically) as the product Marinol (tm) indicated to inspire appetite in bedridden elderly who are in danger of starving from lack of normal nutrition brought on by psycho social and nutritional deficiencies. It is effective in that usage. (Much as THC is effective in illegal pot— in creating feminized males with man tits and Oreo cookie pear shaped fatty waistlines... just saying, LOL). Sure to be flamed here— but talk to other clinical pharmacology experts who are not on the payroll of the “machine”.
