It smells like shit and no-one needs it.
Correction: If you do need it, your problems are something that psychological dependance on pot will only make worse.

Pot is addictive by the way. [url=http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/marijuana-abuse/marijuana-addictive]source[/url] [quote]Long-term marijuana use can lead to addiction; that is, people have difficulty controlling their drug use and cannot stop even though it interferes with many aspects of their lives. It is estimated that 9 percent of people who use marijuana will become dependent on it.10 The number goes up to about 1 in 6 in those who start using young (in their teens) and to 25-50 percent among daily users.11,12 Moreover, a study of over 300 fraternal and identical twin pairs found that the twin who had used marijuana before the age of 17 had elevated rates of other drug use and drug problems later on, compared with their twin who did not use before age 17.13 According to the 2010 NSDUH, marijuana accounted for 4.5 million of the estimated 7.1 million Americans dependent on or abusing illicit drugs.1 In 2009, approximately 18 percent of people aged 12 and older entering drug abuse treatment programs reported marijuana as their primary drug of abuse; 61 percent of persons under 15 reported marijuana as their primary drug of abuse.14 Marijuana addiction is also linked to a withdrawal syndrome similar to that of nicotine withdrawal, which can make it hard to quit. People trying to quit report irritability, sleeping difficulties, craving, and anxiety. They also show increased aggression on psychological tests, peaking approximately 1 week after they last used the drug.[/quote]

What's the difference between addiction and habitual? After work people like to sit and watch TV maybe they get into the habit of smoking pot every day and it's something they enjoy?
-
I personally classify addiction being that you start having extreme urges or withdrawals. While habitual is something you can drop if the need arises.
-
So just like eating junk food or drinking coffee it can be both depending on the person. I don't see the problem.

addiction, habit, toe-mate-o, toe-ma-to.

Edited by DocSmurf: 8/8/2013 7:20:09 PMThese statistics are woefully misleading. The Leading study the NSDUH is talking about didn't even have a user bracket set up for those that smoke once a week. Also known as the minimal use bracket which make up an estimated 12-15 percent of the smokers. This leads to the heavy users bracket or those that smoke every day in large amounts to throw the results of the entire test. The issues that are described for instance psychological addiction normally only happen in this heavy user bracket, or imagine this, people that abuse the substance. The fact of the matter is you have to be heavily misusing cannabis in the first place to even become attached to it unlike every other scheduled one drug. ( with the acceptation of lsd ) We don't punish everyone in the united states that drinks because alcoholics exist. Why would we go punishing cannabis users when the only people getting addicted are misusing it. I shed no tears over people that smoke the ridiculous amounts of the heavy user bracket and then get "mentally addicted"

Edited by Camnator: 8/8/2013 8:57:53 AMYou don't need your house, but using cannabis recreationally isn't a bad thing. Most people can't become psychologically dependent on it. And if you could, you'd be dependent on something worse regardless like fast food or more harmful drugs.
