        Weed is not addictive.

        You can make the argument that one can become dependent on weed despite it having no addictive properties, but you can also make that argument about weird shit like eating toilet paper or playing video games.

          You’re getting the upvotes in this thread because that other dude is off, but weed is definitely addictive. Or maybe you don’t consider gambling addictive because neither necessarily have a chemical component to the addictiveness.

          There are also side effects to quitting after prolonged use.

            I’ve done this regularly. Went from every day use to quitting for a year before becoming a teacher, and have regularly stopped for 6 months to a year for various reasons since.
