Not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic. If you're just trying to be funny, please list some examples of people that got physically addicted to weed, and got sick or died when they quit.
There are plenty of people on this board who had no physical problems when they quit smoking weed, myself included.
It's not physically addictive, and that isn't even debatable, it's a fact.

And this coming from a guy that has replied to several of my posts in this here thread that I started.
Again, if that was the scary number then the gateway drug proponents would be using it. They don't, and I think it's pretty obvious why.
Hahahahahahaha....it destroys the "moral filters".....hahahahahahahahahahahaha....wow, that's fantastic stuff.
I hear it also makes you listen to negro jazz music and rape white women!
You can become addicted to anything.

This issue comes down to perspective for me. Wether 23% is a large figure depends on your point of view. To high for me personally but I think that 23% (where the hell did it come from anyway?) would be reduced if it was legalized and pot was sold in places like gas stations and walmart.

Yes, the brain is physically part of one's body.
That being said, for whatever reason physical addiction has been defined as a withdrawals that affect the central nervous system. The NIDA guy can try to say it's arbitrary, but it's really pretty simple. There's a reason a severe alcoholic can die if they don't drink and a server stoner won't die if he doesn't get stoned. The DTs are a classic physical affect of addiction.
As for psychological addiction, nearly everything is. I spend an hour or so a day at this place for some reason.

I went to a debate about legalizing cannabis at school a couple of years ago between the guy who started "High Times" magazine and a former DEA agent. The only kind of logical argument the DEA guy had was that alcohol should have never been legalized and because we made that mistake doesn't mean we should make another in legalizing marijuana. That was his absolute best argument and it was still incredibly weak. The High Times guy made some great points about not ever ever smoking weed, because inhaling smoke is bad for you, you should make brownies or use a vaporizer. He also pointed out that if you are getting high in the morning before school or before you go to work you probably shouldn't be smoking weed because you aren't mature enough to handle it. But for those that can handle it they shouldn't be punished because some dumbasses become lazy and sit around and smoke all day, or else they should outlaw the internet, video games, and sleeping. Legalize it, tax it, regulate it and move on.
