Heroin is addicting in the fact your body reacts when you don't have it. Pot doesn't react when you don't have it. The psychological addiction can make you have insomnia or whatever other symptoms you have. None of those are caused by any physical need for the drug.

While yes, you experienced withdrawal symptoms it's from your psychological want for it, not your body's need.

Public Service Announcement: Pot is more dangerous than caffeine	PaulO	September 30, 2011 07:57AM
Fallacious Reasoning.	The Faithful of Nazmorghul	October 02, 2011 08:09AM
I think I saw a sibling study not too long ago that supported the same conclusion as the original post	PaulO	October 02, 2011 02:09PM

Caffeine is legal and pot isn't. I don't think it's newsworthy. Sorry. NT	Sam	September 30, 2011 05:53PM
Pot's not addictive. Not as much money in that.	Rogue	October 01, 2011 02:37AM
I would argue that it is	daurwyn(VIP)	October 03, 2011 08:21AM

Well, there is chemical dependency for marijuana. It's just not something that's hard to overcome, unlike Heroin or other opiates for example.	Sam	October 03, 2011 11:11AM
Myth..	Splntrd	October 01, 2011 03:22AM
No, definitely had withdrawal symptoms. They were as follows: Insomnia, decreased appetite, and crazily vivid dreams.	Sam	October 01, 2011 10:22AM
Yeah - exactly. I know what was going on - I was being sarcastic for Rogue. nt	Splntrd	October 01, 2011 06:55PM
God I can never read into sarcasm, love u too nt	Rogue	October 02, 2011 08:12AM
Make it up to me by giving me some PK advice. PM me for some lulz. nt	Splntrd	October 02, 2011 11:26AM

So what?	Java	October 01, 2011 03:56PM
I'd think that you being in the military would approve of medial marijuana due to the link that been shown for the treatmend of PTSD. I know when PA legalizes medicinal I'll be line. Xanex and most other anti-anxiety medicines are benzodiazepines that cau (n/t)	kanye	October 02, 2011 05:01PM

This. nt	Splntrd	October 01, 2011 06:56PM
The same is true of cocaine.	vortexmagus	October 01, 2011 09:53AM
No, I didn't.	Splntrd	October 01, 2011 07:48AM
The anxiety is because you smoke pot, not because you are withdrawing	Rogue	October 02, 2011 07:58AM
I like how you start off by saying he's wrong, and end by saying it's just your opinion. nt	Java	October 03, 2011 12:32AM
No, there's definitely withdrawal from pot. Its not as harsh as cocaine or heroin, but its still there. (n/t)	vortexmagus	October 01, 2011 07:34AM
Depends on where you live. Both are legal in CA (n/t)	jegec	September 30, 2011 06:51PM

Ah, yes they definately have disclaimers about prescribing to teenagers and younger. n/t	Death_Claw	October 01, 2011 08:19AM
It's called those people are self medicating their condition with weed. Correlation <> Causality (n/t)	ORB	September 30, 2011 12:29PM
Being fully immersed in a culture of regular recreational users...	Splntrd	September 30, 2011 05:59PM
that sucks	morocco	October 01, 2011 02:57AM
Berieve me, it's been discussed. nt	Splntrd	October 01, 2011 03:28AM
Complete and utter failure, man.	vortexmagus	September 30, 2011 02:27PM
I've learned to stop bothering taking stuff like this article seriously.	Death_Claw	September 30, 2011 11:31PM
This isn't the first study to say this	PaulO	October 01, 2011 12:24PM
This. In addition....	Splntrd	October 01, 2011 01:44AM
From these responses, we can figure out who didn't actually read the article	vortexmagus	October 01, 2011 02:08AM
Why do you spout stupid bullshit like this?	Death_Claw	October 01, 2011 08:15AM
Fair enough.	PaulO	October 01, 2011 12:57PM
I have to take a look at the study.	Death_Claw	October 03, 2011 07:27PM
Though already this one marginalizes a lot of it...	Death_Claw	October 03, 2011 08:02PM
Two things.	Sam	October 01, 2011 01:15PM
I'm not saying everyone has issues from it.	PaulO	October 01, 2011 04:20PM
Translation: My anecdotal evidence > Rigorous Scientific Analysis	vortexmagus	October 01, 2011 09:56AM
I'm basing my post on the article as it is written, what're you basing yours on?	Death_Claw	October 03, 2011 07:24PM
I think what he is saying is the study you linked to isn't exactly the strongest scientific evidence to prove your point.	Sam	October 01, 2011 10:26AM
I don't actually care whether people regard marijuana use as harmless or not	vortexmagus	October 01, 2011 11:39AM
Marijuana is not harmless nor have I ever said such.	Sam	October 01, 2011 12:53PM
I've explicitly stated in this thread that weed isn't harmless, asshole. nt	Splntrd	October 01, 2011 03:25AM
Yeah, thats why I edited my remarks to direct them at people who thought weed wasn't harmless. (n/t)	vortexmagus	October 01, 2011 03:33AM
Inhaling burning substances habitually is never 'harmless'.	Death_Claw	October 01, 2011 08:22AM
Secondhand smoke	jegec	October 02, 2011 01:17AM
I care more about avoiding old cars with dusty plastic interiors and shitty fast food.	Death_Claw	October 03, 2011 07:25PM
Fucking thank you! I notice that shit in every second-hand smoke article I ever read.	Sam	October 01, 2011 11:13AM
I'd really like to see how they arranged the control group	morocco	October 01, 2011 03:10AM
They say right in the article that nobody's sure about the causality.. (n/t)	bell	September 30, 2011 11:41AM
