Oh boy, the level of harm/dependency of weed them are nowhere near cigars, alcohol or even coffee.

I've smoked marijuana for years and never had a problem with stopping, no withdrawals symptoms, no craving, that happened to my friends as well.

Only thing that made me come back was food tasting better, music sounding better, feeling better and making life more bearable. And even so, had no problems at stopping from 3-4+ joints a day everyday to none at all.

It even helped with my depression and anxiety.

Yeah but that varies with every individual, you cant get hooked on the substance but you can for sure get hooked on the high.

Isn’t that the same with all drugs though and where the addiction stems? You keep coming back for the feelings it gives you?

Not with all the drugs, the addiction to the high comes when the substance steals the pleasure from what you get from reality.

I can still enjoying and appreciate things without the substance, it even taught me how to appreciate more what the world is and has to offer and how beautiful it can actually be, even without the substance.

Drugs like heroin, alcohol, cocaine, coffee, cigs (just listing a few) are the ones that physically hook and steals the pleasure you get from reality, they even make real life feel like shit, painful and miserable and that's what brings you back to it, the release you get from using them

With drugs like cocaine or heroine it effects your brain fat stronger. Those drugs help you produce dopamine or others chemicals our brand naturally produce to make us happy. Eventually your body depends on the drugs to be happy and no longer makes it naturally.

Marijuana does not do this. It is mentally addicting but not physically

Ive stopped now been a few months and all it took was just going ‘i don’t want to do this anymore’ and not once have I thought about doing it again.

I know some may have a different experience then this but for me its a lot easier then its marketed as
