lol @ "weed addict"
do people actually believe people get addicted and all cracked out on weed?
what is this 1940?
I've known a lot of weed addicts over the years. Watching my older brother and his friends for the last 20+ years is all the proof I need. When you can't function for more than a couple hours without toking again, can't go anywhere without bringing your weed, get angry if you don't get to toke regularly, or are blowing up your marriage because you can't stop. Then you are addicted.
I had roommates that on payday would go buy some weed and smoke non stop. They would always run out well before the next payday. I would watch them scrape the burnt resin out of all of their pipes & bongs just to get one more toke. Then they'd be trying to borrow or scrounge up any money they can to buy more. It wasn't until after they were forced to stop smoking that they finally admitted there was a problem.
your body can't become dependent on weed, it's not physically addictive, but people can get addicted to it like anything else... sky diving, running, fucking, working out... it's a mental addiction.
sounds to me like your older brother and his loser friends have more problems than weed, weed is just something they all do while being a loser and not the other way around.
i own multiple businesses, i'm building my own home, i run a homestead here that provides food for me and my family... and i smoke a little weed every now and then to relax... i barely even drink alcohol.
if you honestly think weed makes people turn into the kind of person your brother is i can't change your mind... but as someone who knows dozens and dozens of very wealthy and successful motivated people... who also happen to smoke a lil weed every now and then... i can tell you that you shouldn't judge the world by the standard of your loser brother.
i think it would shock the hell out of you if you found out just how many people you meet and interact with on a daily basis that smoke weed... they just don't talk about it with people like you cause... well... i think you know.
I think it depends on how you are wired & your body / brain chemistry. My dad was addicted to alcohol & cigarettes. But I can have a drink or smoke 1 cig & not have another one for months or years and be fine.
I’ve seen it with more then just my brother & his friends. I’ve had roommates that would smoke their entire stash well before their next payday & then try anything they could to get more. Borrowing money or going to the pawn shop. They stopped short of offering sexual favors on the corner so maybe they weren’t completely addicted.
yeah, and i'm telling you thats a loser who smokes pot, not a pot smoking loser. lol.
there are just as many types of smokers as there are types of people... for obvious reasons.
i worked the sales counter at a med and rec legal dispensary for three years before i started growing full time. people from all walks of life, all types of people, all coming in there for the same thing... some good weed they can trust.
i saw people like you describe, and i saw the complete opposite end of that spectrum... all buying the same exact things.
i really appreciated my med customers, most of them were great down to earth people who were coming to me for pain relief or to stop their seizures or to reduce the ocular pressure in their eyes...
the most drastic customers i served were the people with MS... i always knew that it helped but never really got to see it in action till one day i had this guy come in who could barely talk or walk he was constricting so hard. i helped him quickly with his purchase and got him out of there asap because i could tell he was uncomfortable. he left and i went back to business as usual. about 30 minutes later this dude comes walking back into the store and says "hey man i forgot to get some edibles"... completely normal, walking with a stride, speaking with perfect non-shaky voice...
i'll never forget it...
anyone who tells you weed isn't something people should have open and safe access to is a clueless heartless piece of shit.
