While the current research with updated information claimed that the level of addiction for marijuana depends sorely on individuals. In other words, people will experience vary consequences of smoking marijuana.

Edit: Don't take us wrong, Chico. We are not downgrading your experience with marijuana. It must be difficult for you to watch your friends going in rehab, as it was not fun for me to watch people going through that neither. I'm just saying that smoking marijuana does not automatically makes you to be addict to it.

Sorry dude, but I have seen too many potheads in my lifetime NOT to think wacky tobacky is anything other than addictive. Yeah most folks up here in Detroit move on to bigger and better things like crack, but I have known co workers and a few old friends that stuck with it and smoked it way too often not to be labeled anything other than being an addict. I have also known other friends that could just smoke it occasionally, but those folks are in a minority of the people that I know who smoke weed.

I think this statement makes no sense.

[QUOTE=Mattyk;794203]Define most. Because the schools I went to, I saw some of that stuff going on but for the most part, the majority weren't involved in that scene. Booze and pot were all over the place for sure, but that's a different animal.

I concur. In the dorms at Eastern Mich Univ you could usually smell weed in the hallways a few times a week, but to say most kids did it would have been an huge exaggeration. IF Mallet is indeed doing that stuff he needs to get help, etc. I hope we don't get Mallet, but that is more to do with his tendency to lose his cool in pressure situations at times and choke.

Pot is more psychologically addictive than physically. There is little to none physical withdrawal symptoms when quitting weed. Some say caffeine is harder to kick.

Ryan Mallet keeps his eyes on the prize.

80% of hard drug users started out with weed. It is a gateway drug alright, to a possible personal hell.

It depends on what the pot is laced with. THe pot sold today is not the natural stuff necessarily the boomers smoked in the 60's-70's.

Mattyk · 04-19-2011, 08:41 PM

Gateway drug lol

Maybe we should just get back on topic, this is getting redonkulous

Dirtbag59 · 04-19-2011, 08:42 PM

Ryan Mallet on the phone with his agent

Yeah it's not your fathers weed, but it's not laced. Just stronger strains.

And those same people probably tried alcohol first but that doesn't make beer a "gateway."
