Well, we produce melatonin abundantly as children, and little, as adults. Melatonin isn't addictive. It just tells birds to migrate and goats to mate.

Im just sharing the fact that after I quit ciggs cold turkey....I didn't need but just felt an intense craving...no insomnia ect...just the urge for about 2-3 months.

Now when I quit smoking weed I have more side effects, insomnia and most of what has been mentioned but this lasts no more than a week tops, these are all withdrawal symptoms.

When you withdraw from an activity and your body reacts these reactions are symptoms

I suppose it just takes your body quiet a bit longer to adjust from a physical addiction than psychological.

Weed can absolutely be considered addictive. But using their criteria and based on what we've observed in society, we can also call television, chocolate, McDonnald's, candy, video games, music, gambling, running, and internet addictive. All these things and so much more are habbit forming for a lot of people, but we dont' make them illegal on the basis of them being "addictive". Considering that the two main legal drugs, alcohol and tobacco, are more addictive than most illegal drugs, how can they even justify prohibition with this?

The sheeple need to stop being so scared by the word "addictive" and realize just how broad such a term is.

The argument that because alcohol and tobacco are legal then weed should be to is wrong, just because something harmful is legal doesnt mean that something not as harmful should be legal. Dont get me wrong i am all for the legalization of this wonderful plant, but it wont happen with that argument. IMO

Anyways as far as weed being addictive, I would say that personally I feel fine physically when I dont smoke, but yes I want it, I crave it, its almost like I fein for it. Weak will power? Maybe. But still I feel addicted, isnt that all that really matters?

That's not a fact, and no information you provided has proven, or even said that it's addictive.

I'm surprised by this - but i agree.

None of this is based on fact.

I used to do "M". I got really into the whole "M" culture. I was doing "M" as soon as I got home from work, through dinner, and until I went to sleeps some nights. On Friday nights, I would get together with friends and do "M", and drink alcohol. I started losing a lot of money (we call it gil), to M, so I started growing. One time I went on vacation, and I asked a friend to water my babies, but he did not, and almost all my lovely plants died. I was pretty upset, and to top it off, there was absolutely no way I could have "M" on my vacation.

Anyway, I bought new seeds, and planted them on all my mule accounts. That was when the price for the chocobo carrots were a lot higher at the Auction House. Then, we lost internet access for awhile, and it was no "M" for me for almost a month and a half.

I was irritable, couldn't sleep as well at night, and I was consumed with thinking about "M". My wife would get annoyed with me talking about "M" all the time. When I was able to do "M" again, I realized that it wasn't as great as I thought it was, and that I needed to quit.

But, I couldn't do it without the help of MMORPG'ers Anonymous. Big ups to my peeps at MMORPGA!
