It becomes a habit in people who enjoy it and realize its benefits, but thats not the same as an addiction.
There are far worse legal drugs in this country then marijuana, but by continuing to criminalize it, the states and courts make a shit ton more money then they would by legally selling it. And as thus, it will never be decriminalized. |
I take your post to heart, because I was a user up until recently. This may cause my opinion to be biased, but my opinion was relatively the same before hand. Also, about the driving, I personally never had a problem with, but I've heard people have, especially those new to it. Also, I quit without any withdrawal at all. I decided that it was time for me to grow up and leave the weed (until a possible later date? Who knows?) and honestly had no problems giving it up. It's all in your head.
I've always taken my father's words to heart. He claims to know everything (which he says in jest), and his view on drugs as a whole is "I think all drugs should be legal. If someone wants to ruin their life, then go ahead. Doesn't effect me." Now I know this is a bit extreme, but I found it funny when he said it.
Note - I do not condone the use of illegal substances. I personally don't think all drugs should be legalized, it was just a tangent I was thinking of while posting.
