Hopefully some day I can vote for a political party that respects my bodily autonomy to put the drugs I want into my own body.

Some day…

Are you joking? Yes I've a couple of friends though obviously I can't point them out to you, and thankfully they've both quit - though it was quite the process to get there.

I'm not sure if you're really trying to say cannabis isn't addictive? Honestly that sounds like downright denial to me, but perhaps someone here with more experience would like to write a good answer.

And "not easier said than done".... C'mon, that's exactly the thing with addictive drugs, and other things like eating disorders, bad habits, traumatic response... Sure, some things affect some people more than others. Chocolate might ruin one person's life, and heroin barely touch another. But either you can want to stop, then find it's hard - even beyond your willpower - to do so. That's how life is, and psychoactive drugs are particularly prone to that.

No, I am not joking, and I am sorry to hear that you have had friends go through that process. Addiction is nothing to joke about and it is a very real problem that can only be solved through education and treatment.

Cannabis is socially addictive at best. I used to smoke myself as I am sure we all have, it is not a substance that you have a legitimate withdrawl from save for maybe being crankier than usual. Once you're past that, you're done.

You have a very valid point, and I cannot really argue with that because we agree for the most part. Drafting this ftm because it is late, I'll finish later.
