Nope. There are two kinds of addictions, mental(psychological) and chemically addictive. Chem. addictive means there's a chemical present in the substance that makes your body need it, nicotine etc...Quote:

You have no right to talk down to me, tadaa, especially since you're not proving that you know what psychological addiction is.
Quote:
Coke is very addictive. It can be very difficult to resist the craving and strong psychological dependance due to changes in the brain. Recent evidence suggests possible long-term changes to the nervous system.
Although psychological dependance is more of a problem than physical withdrawal symptons, low mood and feeling very rough soon after stopping can also tempt people to take more coke. A habit can be expensive and take over your life.
There, you're putting marijuana with cocaine, again.Quote:
Psychological addiction is the mind's adjustment to the brain's physiological impressions.
A mind confused with a body image will identify with the body's physiological rush (high) as a psychological reality. The psychological association of this rush is introduced to the body through various forms: obsessions with food, mood-altering chemicals, gambling and sex, to name a few.http://www.edgenews.com/issues/2001/09/karayan.html

Psychological Addiction: This is often the more difficult problem to cope with.
Over a number of years of smoking the habit has been repeated many thousands of times and frequently re-enforced.
A smoker will smoke when they are happy, when they are sad, stressed, anxious, bored, having a good time, having a bad time, celebrating, commiserating, after a meal, with a cup of tea, coffee or alcohol, with friends, when they are alone, on the phone, in the car etc.etc.etc.
The Cigarette is in Control !!!!
It is a very liberating feeling when you take back that control
The desire to smoke will be strong, accept this desire, you have smoked for a very long time, you will not forget that once you were a smoker, but you are now taking back the control and making a free choice not to smoke
Cannabis is not an opioid.Quote:
Psychological addiction: This is when you repeatedly behave in a certain way, so that your mind comes to feel you can't manage in any other way. Any activity that changes your mood can produce mental cravings, e.g the 'buzz' from winning on a fruit machine makes you feel good, so you feel driven to go back and gamble again to get the same feeling.http://www.fmhsussex.co.uk/addiction.htm
Sorry that I forgot to put a couple links.
My point is still correct that there are 2 kinds of addiction, psych and chemical.Quote:

What is you're point about psychological? What is it? How can being psychologically addicted to Cannabis be the same as gambling or sex, when Cannabis doesn't reward your brain through the dopamine receptors, as gambling and sex do?
What are these so called negative side effects? I smoke like a mad man and I don't see any of them....
tadaa, dopamine receptors are what create your addictive behavior.
just wanted to put that out before you make a fool of yourself. and the obvious side-effects (smoking, take out 3 for eating):
1. for many people, acne
2. short term memory loss for about 30 days
3. bronchitis
4. not sure about this, but when ur high ur sperm count is reduced?
side effects of tobacco:
1. bronchitis
2. cancer
3. death
side effects of alcohol:
1. depression
2. liver failure
3. death
side effects of chocolate (in large quantities):
1. acne (it's oily or something)
2. weight gain
3. stunted growth (i assume that's from caffeine)
4. heart attack (from caffeine and weight gain)
side effects of video games:
1. bad eyes.
etc. etc.

i got 1000 flyers from this guy on green paper for $30 shipped... i haven't got them in yet but i'll let you know how they look, but that's cheap for copies... you can get them on white paper for $.02 a copy.
I chose this list because it was as unbiased as it needs to be. Tadaa, you just have sand in your vagina or something. There's no reason to talk down to people like I've seen you do on several occassions, and this list is less biased then you claim it is. If you read the footnote I doubt you'd have said what you did in your first post. Also, this list discourages the use of cannabis by minors and says that while it is less dangerous than tobacco, anything being smoked will cause some harm.
Tell me how this list is biased.
