Is marijuana addictive? Does it have any drawbacks?

[IAmNotAlpharius]

Is marijuana addictive? Are there any consequences to using it?

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Yes. It makes you a faggot.

 

[Just Another Apocalypse]

No known physical addiction as such. As in, alcohol withdrawal and seizures, opiates and "flu".

Psychological addiction? You can get addicted to wanking, the slots, all sorts of things.

Consequences: Appreciation of jazz music, psychosis.

Like all good things moderation is key.

Nothing is addictive, it just takes more willpower to overcome the draw. Nicotine in joints is the biggest pain in the arse to kick. By comparison the weed is small fry.

 

[Poison Apple]

Marijuana joints do not really possess any addictive chemicals (assuming you roll yourself) but you can still get addicted to the action of smoking.

Here's an informative movie on the subject, it might come in handy for you:

Do you think I injecting hardcore drugs like the devil's lettuce is gonna get you far in life, son?

Incorrect. Physical addiction and psychological addiction are two completely different things.

You can catch the gay.
First you smoke the bong, then you suck the dong.

Gives you schizophrenia if you're susceptible, otherwise gives you a good time

Incorrect. Physical addiction and psychological addiction are two completely different things.

And you get over both using will power.

And you get over both using will power.

Nope. Trying to use willpower to overcome most physical addictions can easily be a short trip to the grave. No one should attempt to discontinue a physical addiction without medical assistance.

There is some psychological dependency, at least in my experience. But like all things that can be overcome; your body will understand that it doesn't require marijuana to function.

Does actually seem to help with neuropathic pain and appetite. Getting high enough can feel like a mild psychedelic trip. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a predisposition towards psychosis or schizoid tendencies.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Drawback: it makes negroes play jazz.

 

[Billy Beer]

Nope.

Yep.

I went cold turkey on booze, fags and weed. A physical dependence is still controlled by the mind.

I would say this is rather good advice.

You couldn't be more wrong. It is absolutely possible if someone is an alcoholic and they try to discontinue alcohol cold turkey they will end up dead.

 

[Just Another Apocalypse]

That is fucking idiotic. Sudden withdrawal from alcohol can cause seizures that can (and have) kill.

Dude, don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Clearly.

True. That's what happened to that gay nigger from True Blood.
