Is there a higher rate of opioid addiction amongst opioid users than marijuana addiction amongst marijuana users?
- Implicated 10y agoI can't comment on that, but I'd be confident in saying the rate of death is higher~
- smileysteve 10y agoOne of these is not like the other, opioids cause a clinical chemical dependency very quickly (as mentioned by the article, if you 12 hour dose doesn't last the full 12 hours) while the [chemical dependency of marijuana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_use_disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_use_disorder) is much more subtle.
