    As someone who smokes weed way too often… I do it because I’m addicted to it and anyone who says it’s ‘habitual not addictive’ or they’re just ‘medicating’ is in denial

      As someone else who smokes way too much… I do it because I’m addicted to it. Most people don’t realize that habitual addictions are addictions, and just because weed doesn’t have physical withdrawal symptoms, doesn’t meant you can’t be addicted.

        The fun thing is, it does have physical withdrawal symptoms when you stop.

        They’re just not nearly as bad some other substances.

        I’d rank them worse than coffee’s withdrawal symptoms.

          well I have been trying to quit and haven’t had a puff for like 3 days and I’ve been feeling like shit, whole body sore and persistent headache. I’m not sure if it’s withdrawal though or if I just caught a virus

        It most certainly does have physical withdrawal symptoms. Perhaps it didn’t in 1960 when a lid of pot was $10 and had the same potency of 1 puff from a vape pen, but it sure as hell does today. I’ve watched people become insanely irritable and aggressive when quitting weed, suffering from headaches, sweats, and a plethora of other symptoms.

      Anyone who says it isn’t addictive is lying to themselves and potentially harming others who may end up getting addicted themselves.

      I smoked way too often and didn’t find it addictive, though. I smoked because I had it. I only quit because my lungs hurt lol
