Like most people pointed out, you can get addicted to anything. But people need to understand that there are drugs that are more chemically addictive and cause larger issues like meth and nicotine and people labeling marijuana with those other drugs is dumb and ignorant.
Thanks for sharing bud. I too am in recovery and I wish you well. Everything gonna be alright.
Fk bro sorry to hear that. Not saying weed isn't addictive, just that it shouldn't be compared to harder drugs that form a chemical dependency much faster than weed. I've struggled with addiction in the past. I've found that working out when you get those urges can help. Good luck going forward bro
Agree. Marijuana creates mostly psychological dependance. I was also addicted but when I decided to stop I had practically no physical side-effects, although I did "crave" it in my mind for a week or two.
Apparently not porn. There's a thread above discussing how porn addiction is apparently not real.
