"i'm a very heavy smoker so i'm a reasonably good gauge for addictive potential" Every human's body chemistry is different, so no, you are not a good gauge. To boot, I consume WAY MORE than you - I go through about 5-6 grams of concentrate a day. Get your leg replaced with titanium and plastic composites and see if your consumption doesn't jump up to really high levels due to chronic post-operative pain. "every 6 months, i take a tolerance break by visiting family in another country." Tolerance breaks simply aren't on the menu for me. "i think the point i'm making is: whatever "withdrawal" you're experiencing is entirely in your own head" Except I go to a doctor and they can physically measure everything, right down to my blood pressure, when I'm in withdrawal, and then watch everything change after I take a hit, so no, it's REAL. Again, licensed MEDICAL patient. State card-carrying. I go to real doctors while you rely upon your own anecdotes.
