It's not physically addictive so it's all up to an individuals will power and motivation. Even these people you mention can quit cold turkey today if they really wanted to. That being said it's obviously a crutch for certain people
Weed can also trigger latent mental illness and we still don't really know it's long term effects re: cancer tho it's obvious that inhaling smoke damages the lungs and accelerates aging.
I have an 8th downstairs right now so i'm not on some reefer madness tip but people need to be real about the risks of smoking. I guess a better approach is to do edibles only but the mental illness aspect is still a risk there

I mean we’ll see who’s right about this in the next 5-10 yrs as weed is becoming more and more accepted/tolerated.

All I’ll say is this, the weed of today ain’t the weed of yesterday. The THC concentration is off the charts.

My worry is the societal safe guards we have around safe consumption of alcohol, developed over many years, aren’t there with weed. This up coming generation will effectively be the guinea pigs to the long term effects of smoking.

And yea, weed deff can be mentally addicting for some people. That or it becomes very routine to daily tasks e.g. I need to smoke before I eat, before I listen to music etc

Agreed. I don't have much experience with all these varieties out now, but seems the most desired reef today is bred/crossed to have a heavy narcotic effect rather than a high persay. I prefer the lighter, uplifting shyt for sure. Maybe that's a market effect of more people using mmj now to medicate or manage pain, but that's never been my purpose lol

So from what I gathered/read (and I’m no weed expert at all, just did some surface readings), Indica is the dominant strain these days because it grows faster than Sativa so a quicker ROI. Sativa gives that lighter, uplifting high whereas Indica has that couch lock feel.

As weed is getting more mainstream, growers are upping the THC content in it to get return customers. Regulation is patchy across the country so people aren’t sure what there getting.

Anecdotally and FWIW, my uncle is a clinical psychiatrist and he mentioned in the past year or so he’s been seeing an influx of younger patients complaining about mental issues. Common denominator is most if not all of them smoke weed pretty regularly.

Amazon Is Pushing For Legalization, But It Probably Won’t Deliver Cannabis

Im in the weed industry. Amazon is making its intentions very clear the intend to enter the weed game. Bezos is definitely a smoker as is Elon, i mean only potheads would be dreaming of going into space...:pachaha:
They ain’t no damn pot heads

Bezos is in it strictly for the bread.

Elon don’t even know how to smoke weed he took a pull on Joe Rogan podcast and took it like a cig didn’t even inhale.

The interest in space is all about that green and colonizing another planet in case this one goes to shyt.

He seems depressed lol. Why are you only honing in on how he is coping and self medicating than the fact that he's severely depressed. :russ:

The Coli.com :manny:


cuz these nikkas dont even realize the underlying issue to many addictions and what addiction vs coping is. its a reason why many people get sober from alchol and use weed and never want a sip again and my all accounts go on and be succesful. holier than thou on THE THE THE COLI

London baby.
Most people won’t be the next Bezos you idiot.

also Bezos is a pot head himself

What people don’t want to accept is that weed simply reveals you to yourself.

If you’re a naturally motivated person, you’ll find out.

If you’re lazy as shyt, you’ll find out too.

The potheads are bums talk applies directly to people who are naturally lazy and smoke.

You have two lazy friends. Using weed as an excuse for they lack of ambition. Find a better crowd. Why would you even associate with unproductive individuals like that. Weed addiction is bullshyt. Sounds like personal problems. I’m sure cancer patients , epileptic people, people with arthritis, depression think differently. They just lazy. I have plenty friends who smoke all the time. They go to work everyday take care of they families and all other responsibilities while living life comfortably :camby:

I think my nephew is mentally addicted to weed. Dude smokes 5-6 times a day and has turned job opportunities down because they drug test. He's legit fukked his money up because I know he has to spend 5-600 dollars a month on it.

He's dealing with some mental ptsd issues. He makes it worse because he's taking anxiety medication, but then smokes like a chimney on top of it. Every time I talk to him on the phone in the crib, he's got a damn bong in his mouth.
