Cannabis is not addicting. People don't commit crimes to get a "fix". :roll:The_VersatileAnything's addicting. There is a difference between psychological addiction and physical addiction, but when it gets to a certain point there's really no difference. Besides, people have committed crimes for far less.
Everybody SHOULD Support Decriminalization of Cannabis... EVERYBODY

[QUOTE="AirGuitarist87"][QUOTE="Bazfrag"]Very true. Never heard of anyone getting glassed, stabbed or kicked to death by a gang of weed users. The_VersatileThere have been countless cases of that; what about the drug dealers themselves? I think what you mean is people who are stoned doing those things. Cannabis isn't an "entry drug" per se, but the vast majority of hard drug users also use weed. Then those hard drug users do it to get a fix for the hard drugs. They're not robbing people for weed money. When people run out of weed, that's it. They're just out until they can get some more. The right way. There are good weed users as there are bad weed users. I have a load of friends (and friends of friends) who are heavy weed users and they do steal things to pay for their habit. But the question raised is whether weed is actually an entry drug to harder substances (slippery slope).
people have committed crimes for far less. AirGuitarist87Of course they have. But those are criminals! A person who smokes pot is not in the mood to commit crimes, I promise you. :lol: And they don't commit crimes to get more. Maybe it's happened here and there, but it's widely known that potheads don't go on crime sprees to support their... hobby. Smoking cannabis generally tends to influence one to be a more peaceful and friendly person as well, so even if there were criminalistic urges residing within someone, there's a great chance it would be diminshed simply by using the cannabis.

Some people will constantly seek out a bigger thrill, but that has nothing to do with pot. If any drugs are gateway drugs, it would be the legal, readily available ones. But it's not even that. Certain people move on to harder drugs because they crave the thrill, other people stick with weed, because it's all they're interested in. It has to do with personality. Weed doesn't morph people into psychotic, drug craving lunatics who just have to keep climbing higher and higher.
Personally i dont like anything that you smoke/sniff or inject. IMO its just not worthi it in thelong run. Maybe cos i understand exacly what goes on biologically and i dontlike it. Alsoi would hate to think of myself as being addicted to anything.
I cant really say weather i think its right that its against the law to use at the moment cos lets face it if you want cannabis you can get it but the fact that it can seriously mess you up seems like a fair reason toat least try to minimize the use.
you can also injest marijuana, its healthier and a overal better highPersonally i dont like anything that you smoke/sniff or inject. IMO its just not worthi it in thelong run.

[QUOTE="xxDustmanxx"][QUOTE="manicfoot"] Sorry, but Cannabis can be addictive. Its just like every other drug in that regard. My brother smoked it for 5 years and when he decided to quit he experienced he following: heart palputations, anxiety, paranoia, insomnia and he had vivid nightmares when he did manage to sleep. I'm not saying everyone who gives up will have a bad time like my brother but weed CAN be addictive. Both physically and mentally. I actually support decriminalization of the stuff though. But please don't talk like cannabis is a drug with no side-effects whatsoever because it isn't.The_VersatileThat sounds more like generalized anxiety disorder and depression, something that the cannabis was probably helping him with prior to quitting. Probably. :lol: Once his brother quit the medication, his illness returned. I should have thought of that, because yes, there is no physical addiction - and therefore withdrawl - from ceasing use of cannabis.
Are you being serious? Despite knowing nothing about my brother you're just assiming he had some sort of anxiety disorder that weed was covering up? SERIOUSLY? First of all, my brother isn't normally an anxious person. He's the outgoing type and I'M the anxious/depressed one. Because of this he found the whole experience quite scary because it HAD NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM BEFORE. He hasn't done any other drugs either. Doing a quick google search proves that my brother isn't alone: http://www.steadyhealth.com/Symptoms_of_the_marijuana_withdrawals_t52868.html check out some of the posts in that thread. Some say they did other drugs, some say they did just weed for 3.5 years. Did they all have undiagnosed anxiety disorders as well? :roll:

No-one can say for certain in either direction as there really isn't that much convincing evidence. Thrill seekers is a valid point, though, but you can also apply it to addictive personalities.

Yeap, marijuana is associated with depression and anxiety, but definitely is not physically addictive. Sorry buddy, it seems that your brother has suffered from long term side affects of cannabis use, not withdrawal. You also pointed out that you are the anxious one, which would suggest a trend. Also, you haven't elaborated on the specifics of your brothers personal life.

Oh crap, you are right.

At least you're consistent... but... you don't think having more room in prisons for hardened criminals would be better?I don't believe in making exceptions just because of living constraints within the prison system. The problem is not that the effects warrant anything to be considered illegal, but the fact that it is an illegal substance and people are still abusing or selling it. It doesn't matter if grape Kool-Aid was made illegal; if people are knowingly and repeatedly breaking a law, they need to be punished for it, whether or not one deems the law to be a correct one.
Without sounding condescending; weed users are criminals too, no matter which way you look at it. Until it's legalised; buying, selling and using weed will make what you're doing a criminal activity and therefore you're a criminal. AirGuitarist87That's the problem. It shouldn't be considered a criminal act, because there are no victims from casual cannabis consumption. It's a victimless crime. All other relative "crimes" that occur, such as shoot-outs between dealers, are only a result of the illegality of the substance to begin with, creating a black market. The law of prohibition itself causes a lot more harm than the substance being prohibited, just as with alcohol in the 1920's... only this time it's even more ridiculous.
Especially nowadays when dealers are breeding stronger plants and cutting them with all sorts of crap. AirGuitarist87Growers breed more potent plants, not dealers. And they're only maximizing the potential of the plants' potency to begin with. It's not like their creating deformities. Technology advances, and grow methods have become more advanced as a result. And not just with cannabis, but with all other herbs, vegetables, and fruits you can grow too. And you can't "cut" weed. Sometimes hashish is cut with things like butane and molasses, and other drugs such as cocaine obviously can be cut easily with baking soda, but not the flowers of the cannabis plant. Any additives to the buds would be easily noticable, and you would just not use them.
decriminalization would be a good first step, but that doesn't eliminate the drug dealers or the hurt the drug cartels. It needs to be legalized.

As you yourself stated before, it is a personality issue. People can get addicted to ANYTHING upon regular use. People get addicted to coffee, so im pretty sure it is possible to get addicted to weed.

JustPlainLucasThat's ridiculous, with all due respect. Unjust laws should NEVER be supported by citizens. We the people, remember? So you don't advocate cannabis, that's swell. But do you also not advocate taking measures to create safer communities? Safer places to raise children? Safer places to walk at night? Less crimes being committed? Police resources being directed towards serious crimes, rather than focusing on petty crap like a stoner kid with a joint on his ear? Are you not an advocate of such things? That's something that decriminalization of cannabis would assist with, greatly.

That's a joke right?
I see all this talk about if weed is addicting.
Weed is "Mentally" and "Physically" addicting.I've been smoking it for 15 or 16 years now, I should know. Take all your books and studies and throw them out the window. I've got enough experience here to say it's addicting. More in some than others.

Mikey132
I don't even like weed but I don't think people should go to prison for smoking a joint. Not only is this punishment silly, it's often counter-productive and turns people into real criminals. We waste far too much money and effort on enforcing it, and the gains are non-existent and in my opinion counter productive.dnuggs40Well, do you feel people should be ticked for speeding or running red lights and stop signs when there's no one around?
It should be legalized because it's harmless and people have the right to take any substance they want into their body. That said, I would never use marijuana because it's disgusting and "stoner culture" is a disgrace to the human race.SmokingCrackSo you say that people have the right to kill themselves by injesting arsenic?

Hell, 2 of my friends were addicted and had to seek help around 4 years ago. Only problem with your post is, that you don't know that cannabis isn't addicting. Biologically speaking and all... Maybe your friends felt like their fascination with cannabis was distracting them from other things in life (which can happen), so much to the point that they mistakenly thought they were addicted. People do not go through withdrawls after quitting smoking cannabis. People still don't seem to understand the difference between addiction and fascination. When you get addicted to something, you can't function normally without it. This is only a physical effect. the body changes to accomodate the new substance being intrduced to the system, and after changing, if you cease in providing this substance, your body becomes confused, and you get sick as a result. Of course, the sickness is simply your body fighting off the negative consequences of being deprived of something that it had been convinced was a necessity. Eventually, your body recovers and things return to normal. Fascination means, you're just really fond of it. So fond, you do it frequently. Frequently enough that it can become habitual. Habits can be tough to break, but only because you began to structure your everyday agenda around your habits, and the change can be annoying. Like with music, video games, and... weed. You can live without those things if you had to. You wouldn't become physically ill without them, because you're not dependent on those things. It's the same reason we know, as gamers, that all those reports of video game addiction are bogus. Sure we like to play, but if we have to go without them for a while, we know we're not going to be curled up in a ball in a dirty corner, screaming our eyes out, whining about the pain.

Sorry yes it is. You just should stop believing everything you read. I've snorted coc, smoked crack. I've done acid and extasy. I know full well what an addiction is.

Even if weed was legalised, or all drugs for that matter, these dealers wouldn't suddenly turn round and say "...bugger...better get a respectable job, then". They'd simply move onto the next illegal thing that was in demand and the whole process of what should be legalised will start all over.

But if weed is as safe as alcohol, and argument I hear a lot, wouldn't "maximising it's potency" be akin to having a higher percentage in a drink? I'm not that well read in terms of cannabis research, but I'm almost certain you can overdose on almost any drug out there. Making any drug stronger is bound to have implications.

Well, you've obviously never used heroin or it'd be clear to you what physical addiction is. Nice try. Coke and crack, acid and ecstasy aren't physically addicting either. You seem to attribute feeling **** after using a drug to it being physically addicting. Do some research.My vote goes to........Drum Roll Please........YAY
No reason for our prisons and cops in general to have to keep smacking ppls hands over anthing under an OZ. Seriously, why waste tax payers money for this kind of thing. If caught driving while under the influence is a whole other ballgame. DWI is a crime.
