lol Anyway, your statement only confirms what I said, 2600: Fruit isn't adictive, but it would be possible to feel 'withdrawal' symptons if you had been eating vast amounts of fruit and then stopped. This is the same for tea (I know for a fact, my mum is addicted to the stuff), cigarettes, etc.. If you consume enough of anything on a regular basis, and you then go cold-turkey, you are going to feel some withdrawal symptons, even if these symptons are just a mild irritation and being pissed off (these are the only withdrawal symptons I get when I stop smoking weed).

Anyway, i've been up all night (argh!) so i'm losing track of my thoughts here a bit, but what i'm trying to say is that anything can be harmful and addictive if you consume enough of it.. with this in mind, yes, Cannabis can be harmful and addictive, but hardly more than anything else, and shouldnt be deemed a 'harmful' or 'addictive' drug... (unless when I go to the supermarket tomorrow I see "WARNING: COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR HEALTH... SIDE AFFECTS COULD INCLUDE...." on the side of a banana)
Please don't let my statement confirm anything for you, reread it and see that when I started off with "If you experience w.drawal when you quit eating fruit...", I was talking completely hypothetically. Because of course I disagree with the use of the statement "...anything can be harmful and addictive if you consume enough of it..." as a benchmark for looking at the effects of smoking weed.

Yeah, you CAN get water poisoning, you CAN break your neck slipping on a banana peel, but lets be realistic. There is a distinct difference between potential danger and withdrawal from a drug (even as mild as thc), compared to FRUIT! Keeping in mind tea, coffee, etc is of the former. I do have probs if I don't have my caffeine everyday, and I do have a tolerance to caffeine. Always find it takes the same amount of apples to get me off though lol, and haven't known tooo many people (outside of this board lol) to have a worse withdrawal from fruit than weed.

And on a related note, they say inhaling crack smoke is addictive , but so is inhaling oxygen. I mean I am inhaling oxygen right now, I have to keep breathing. I can't stop. I am moreso addicted to oxygen than I am crack I think. It can be harmful too. I could swallow enough air to make me sick. What if air got in my bloodstream? If I quit breathing, I would definitely have withdrawal from oxygen, symptoms as harsh as death! Comparatively crack is nothing.

A Critical Standpoint on Smoking Marijuana After reading these forums for around a month, and attempting to comprehend certain statements that have been made about smoking marijuana, Iā??ve decided to write a few of my thoughts about this ever so interesting plant. Let me first say that in no way am I against people smoking it, and I hope you can try to listen what Iā??m attempting to get across with an open mind. Hopefully it will make for good discussion, as I am trying to understand why certain people think they way they do about Rating: 5
