Technically it is impossible to be physically addicted to marijuana, even though posters have already pointed out the fact that it can lead to mental addiction. THC is not some "evil" substance that "kills people frequently". In fact there has never been a case of a death caused by marijuana. Many people are misinformed about marijuana due to a large-scale scare that the government employed in the late 1930's. In 1936 the film "Reefer Madness" came out claiming that marijuana "caused violence and unrest upon users". In 1937 marijuana became illegal as "scientists" falsified reports on the effects of marijuana. All of the reports even at the present of marijuana still contain somewhat falsified information. The DEA claims that cannabis contains more cancer inducing chemicals than tobacco. Though this is true, the amount of cannabis needed to be smoked to see the effects of this information is much higher than regular cannabis users. For more information about the pro's and con's of cannabis please see http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis.shtml
and for more information on current work to decriminalize cannabis please see www.norml.org.

In short, no it is not possible to be addicted to marijuana physically, even though some daily users claim that after smoking multiple times a day for years on end they go into "withdrawl" for 6 days at most.

I consider hippiegimpgirl101. additionally, marijuana is a drug and a plant. the difference is that marijuana is a mushy drug, together as cigarettes, alcohol, meth and those different drugs you stated are complicated drugs. Psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin and mescaline are additionally mushy drugs. you should rather do your analyze, Mr. Alkohollokaust. And rat posion and cyanide are, certainly, in cigarettes. our bodies won't be in a position to tell apart between what's criminal and unlawful. It does not make a difference. our bodies will react to risky and not risky drugs the comparable way no count what all and sundry says. Marijuana and psychedelics will ruin many agencies, and additionally the government does not choose human beings growing to be against the government like they did interior the 60's. The pharmaceutical agencies will lose extremely some money, too thinking the scientific treatments and treatments marijuana and LSD grant. enable's no longer forget approximately the numerous makes use of of the hemp plant interior the paper marketplace, textiles, etc.

It's only a mental addiction. Unlike legal prescription drugs that cause physical addiction

marajuana is illegal because of purely political reasons.... there has been no scientific peer reviewed article that talks about bad health effects of the plant. Smoking anything isn't good for your lungs and you can sometimes act really stupid when you're on it. but thats the person and not the substance. you can not become physically addicted to marajuana, the research has been done. people that claim to be "addicted" have it all in their head. and for alot of people with addiction problems its easy to blame the substance, but scientifically, there is no basis for those claims.

I've been smoking it for 35 years and I ain't hooked.
But seriously, physical addiction to THC is not possible in this world.

DEPENDS ON HOW YOU DEFINE ADDICTION. IF YOU ARE SITTING AROUND WITH FRIENDS AND SHARING A JOINT ALL THE TIME WHILE TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU CAN STOP ANY TIME YOU CHOOSE, WELL, YOU MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM.
