Marijuana is not addictive 2

It really truly is not.
My doctor himself told me so. He said "marijuana is not an addictive substance at all".
Furthermore, I smoked marijuana all day every day for ten straight years without missing a day. Then I quit cold turkey.
I had zero withdrawals. Zero. Not even a mild headache, not even anxiety, not anything whatsoever.
Its less addictive than coffee, less addictive than sugar, less addictive than basically anything you can imagine.
Its about as addictive as romaine lettuce.
Thank you. That is all.

bullshit. people always complain about having no appetite and not being able to sleep after they stop smoking if they are a chronic smoker. Just because it's less addictive than a lot of things doesn't mean it's not addictive at all.

It can be psychologically addictive. But then again so can fucking anything.
I too have smoked ridiculous quantities of dank weed on a daily basis and stopped cold turkey with no ill effects, several times.

That's a psychological withdrawal symptom I am fairly sure. Chronic weed smokers are "cranky" for 2 days at worst.
I think it's important to make the distinction between a physical/biological addiction and psychological/mental one.
Weed is not physically addicting. Abused, it can be slightly addictive psychologically. But that shit is nothing in comparison to other things.

Its still a drug and if you dont realize all drugs have potential for abuse you are a damn fool.
this may be true. but the fact is, it's not just all drugs that have the potential for mental addiction/dependence, it's all things that make you feel good. all things be they substances (psychoactive and/or non-psychoactive), activities, you can be addicted psychologically to anything that stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain. so while you might be right, if you're looking at the big picture cannabis is a pretty goddamn benign substance.

Marijuana certainly can be addictive. People who smoke all day without any insight into how it affects their ability to handle day-to-day situations have a problem. How do you explain somebody who smokes every morning and has their day ruined on a constant basis because of it (I've known several people like this)? Addiction.

How does it ruin their day? Those people must be noobs. Nothing like a nice fresh bowl in the morning.
The best part of waking up, is trainwreck in your cup

My old roommate would actually take oil dabs first thing in the morning, every morning. He would hold in his hits as long as possible, and then he would cough intentionally on the exhale because it supposedly gets you higher-- often so hard he would vomit. Then he would sit around the whole day feeling crappy, wondering why.
Sure, that's healthy.

you should be focusing more on your second point than your first one. because your doctor telling you that weed isn't addictive holds no more weight in this conversation than the countless people whose doctors told them that weed would make them go crazy or give them brown lung or some shit.

Well oil dabs first thing in the morning is a little extreme. You gotta draw the line somewhere, man.

since that's your experience it must be complete fact and all other people opinions must not be valid

this thread has given me hope for the shroomery as a drug related forum you guys are very open minded
btw the OP is not included in that observation. people can be addicted to anything. gambling has proven to be a serious problem in many people for example.
i know people who quit nicotine cold turkey, that doesn't mean its not one of the most addictive substances. many people have quit heroin cold turkey, maybe with the help of a strong psychedelic experience from ibogain or maybe not... and quitting regular use of heroin causes serious illness that renders people completely useless for a long time...

actually littledipster is right literally. although its a sarcastic statement. if something is addictive for one person then it is potentially addictive for anyone

it could be as addicting as alcohol or cigarettes. the word "addiction" isn't enough to define it in its entirety. as already mentioned, it can mean many things. most addictions are psychological imo. the only difference is their side effects. you can smoke a shit load of weed all day everyday and feel like it never happened the next day, but try that with a drug that has many strong physical side effects and you will not yield the same results as cannabis, which has low side effects even with chronic use.
marijuana can be addicting, but it is more than likely not going to be a dangerous addiction. the chances of someone hurting another from it's withdrawals is very very low.
