But so does everyone eles in my area who has the same alergies, not 1 or even 20 people but, over a hundred people in my area are heavely affected by the tree pollen here. And it is gonna get worse cause it ended yeasterday and due to cold temps and now warming temps a whole new tree polination has just begun. At least 2 more weeks of this shit, and I dont plan on smoking herb right after as I know I will still have the after effects, a week or 2 after its over. I have smoked every day all day for the past year and the year before that, the olny time I quit or stop is durring alergy season, and I have never had any kind of addictive symtoms.

Addictive.............. yeah right!..
Everyone's physiology is different, so there are rare cases where a person is actually physically addicted to weed. It's rare, but it does happen. And everyone's personality is different too, so some people become mentally dependent on it without having a physical addiction, while a lot of people have no mental dependency at all.

I've known a few people who had trouble when they quit. For some, it seemed like it was the disruption of their long routine, so it messed with their mental depenedncy for how they went about winding down their day. And others had some physical symptoms like irritability, and trouble sleeping. None of it was very severe or lasted very long, but it was real.

But still, I don't think that was what Ben Harper was even talking about. He was talking about people who let weed hold them back in some way. For some people it enhances their life, and for others it holds them back. Too bad he even used the word "addiction," because I think it just distracts from his real point.
