Answer 1

Yes it can be, if you want to know more about it, you should read: Toma Tells It Straight With Love.
As far as the effects, everyone will describe it different, a common description would be it makes you feel a little calmer, maybe slower, and of course there's the "munchy" side effect, (meaning some say it makes them feel hungry), some feel a bit paranoid.

Answer 2

Marijuana addiction has not been deemed fatal, but this doesn't mean that marijuana addiction isn't extremely damaging. Marijuana addiction causes many problems. Marijuana addiction does much damage in the life of the person addicted to marijuana, along with the people who care about the person. The main reason that marijuana addiction is damaging is due to the mental effects that it has on its abuser. The person suffering from marijuana addiction may not even know they are addicted. They might think that their marijuana addiction is just a bad habit or not even that strong. They might think that they are using marijuana recreationally when the disease of marijuana addiction is slowly taking over the person's life.

Marijuana is not physically addicting. But this does not let users off the hook. Just because a drug is not physically addicting doesn't mean that it is not addicting in any capacity. It is by far one of the most addicting drugs on the market when thought about as emotionally and mentally addicting.

There are two ways of being addicted to marijuana, and they are almost inseparable. They are the emotional marijuana addiction and mental marijuana addiction. These are practically impossible to be found separately in one marijuana addict.

Emotional marijuana addiction is the more powerful of the two. The reason for its power lies within the addict's emotional well-being. What occurs when an addict inhales the marijuana is they are placed in a euphoric state. Once they are placed in this state their marijuana now controls their emotions. If they are "happy it is because of the marijuana". Is something they might think to themselves. What this begins is the cycle of getting high to become happy and when they come down and begin to feel less than happy they might use again. They will continue this cycle until their emotions are completely ruled by marijuana. This is emotional marijuana addiction. And what makes this form stronger is that when the addict tries to get sober they will feel very depressed. This depression might drive them to use again.

Mental marijuana addiction is simpler and less powerful. What happens is a logical progression that marijuana enhances their life. It is a lie that they tell themselves. This lie becomes stronger until they no longer can tell reality from their own perception. When this happens the addict is in trouble.

Answer 3

No it is not addictive. Those who say it is are either ignorant, or have addictive personalities (eating, sex,alcohol,tobacco etc.).
What happens right after I use, I can move. The pain in my body is there but doesn't bother me so much. My migraines subside. I have had no seizures with this. My fingers that are deforming do so and I do not feel the pain so intensely.
It calms me down so I am not running a hundred miles and hour and fall because my legs do not work so well.
Some people smoke to much and have memory loss. Since my head got cracked open and needed to be stapled up I do not remember so well anyway.
If you choose not to take medications for your illness's then don't. To take medication is everyones right to choose and should not be regulated by any government or the person put in jail for 30 years making the tax dollars go for there medical bills.

Answer 4

dont listen to thoughs ***** *** conservative bitches who want even drink there dumb convinced by global warming terrorist are fake and weed is addicting.

its not i know people who smoked there entire life.

if u know anything about alchol it like alchol it alteres ur state of mind it makes u act different and alchol is actually worse but.

by far cigargets are worse with like 300.00000 chemicals in those they are not only does cigs.

cause every cancer none to man there addicting. the nicatine when weed marijuana is just a plant u pick out roll up and smoke to get high though these people who come to ur school tell u the bad things.

there being feed this bull from people like themselves who have never been high.

it like being drunk i weed were legal which it should be so the government wouldnt have to spend money on campains. it would save money.not only but it would keep alot of people out of jail though if u want drink and drive then dont smoke and drive.

same thing alltering the state of mind



for guys it will lower ur sperm count for girls

Marijuana impairs reaction time, motor coordination and visual perception. This can affect one's ability to operate heavy machinery or motor vehicles.

With regular use, marijuana has been shown to decrease virility of sperm for up to three months. For women, it can decrease fertility by damaging ova (eggs).


also if u do it all the time it will screw u up 6 times a month is good like alchol u can relate


u can be addicted mentally its pretend if u want


like an alcholic they drink cause they love to all the time same with weed.

most people only smoke with freinds a good time.

Answer 5

It's like lobster is addicting. Chocolate is addicting. Porn can be addicting. But could you get through the day without it ? Yes. It's not addicting in the sense that you'd vomit without it.

The problem is it brings you into contact with people who sell other addicting stuff, that you'd probably be better off not knowing about.

Answer 6

YES IT IS ADDICTING, NOT LIKE CRACK OR EVEN CLOSE. IT TAKES A LONG TIME OF STEADY SMOKIN, BUT YOU WILL GET ADDICTED MENTALLY , I KNOW 1ST HAND. THERE ARE WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS FROM LONG TERM USE, LIKE SLEEPLESSNESS AND INSOMNIA, AND HEADACHES. TO BE HONEST THOUGH I THINK IT IS MUCH EASIER TO GET ADDICTED TO CIGARRETTES. DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON DETOXING FROM MARIJUANA AND YOU WILL FIND CREDIBLE ANSWERS. DON'T LISTEN TO HALF OF THE YOUNG FOOLS THAT THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING.
