i lucked out.....though i come from a family loaded with alcoholics i dont have the addiction gene in any form....my brother is the same way, he cant figure out why ppl have a hard time quiting smoking cause he can start and stop without a second thought about it....

One of my cousins is a filthy lying thieving addict, he has been disowned and ostracised by the entire family, one of my brothers gave him a thumping and I am good with that as it saved me the effort.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Got that right. All socioeconomics. Not as many exceptions as the bable thumpers and old farts would like to think.

There is good developing evidence that marijuana can be very addictive and marijuana addiction is now an listed separate addiction according to the DSM 5. The division of physical versus psychological addictions is synthetic and adds no value to the discussion, someone in the throws of of a full blown panic attack due to marijuana withdrawal certainly won't quibble over that.

Rattler captured it perfectly, no psychoactive chemical is good or appropriate for a developing mind. Keep in mind we are coming across large amounts of preteens abusing drug with the most common being alcohol, second being prescription drugs and third marijuana.
