Jesus Christ what misleading bullshit. Should we classify sugar as a schedule 3 drug then? Treat it like cocaine? No thats fucking stupid because it's not. It can be addictive, like literally anything else. A baby is not going to get chemically dependant on sugar.
Another example of having the right information but the wrong conclusion.
Drugs aren't illegal because they are addictive. They are illegal because they make humans behave unpredictably and that scares other humans into banning the substances.
The 'its addictive' thing is just to frighten people away from trying it.
Weed is addictive and many people fall into a feedback loop of depending on it yet every dipshit on the left wants that unbanned and unregulated. The hypocracy is what annoys the shit out of me.
Weed is not addictive. I only smoke when I hang out with my friends, which isn't often, and I never have cravings for it.
Yes, it is. Habitual addiction is addiction. While you might not suffer from it, just like some people can become alcoholics but not all, some people can become severely dependant on the way weed makes them feel.
If it can make you feel good, it can become addictive. Knowing the difference between habitual and chemical addiction is extremely important.
Honestly, you're probably right now that I think about it.
