The behavior of an addict doesn't need a degree to see. If you are in a perpetual haze, need it to get up in the morning, and say you do not have a problem you do have a problem.
> These strawmen are transparent and juvenile, while substance dependency of every kind is a complicated and common problem that requires far more nuance.
This is not worth addressing because it seems like you're just mad.

I've noticed people who like the word "cannabis" take issue with it being called avoidance language. It's the same thing seen in vapes, different variations of alcohol, designer drugs, etc. In fact, vapes follow almost the same model as the "cannabis industry" and do quite a bit to dance around the fact it's a drug. Vape stores in particular will sell to 50mg salt nic as a new user. A weed store will sell you medical grade 80% THC hydro as a first time user. Drugs are drugs. If you use them responsibly you probably aren't smoking/drinking/injecting it to feel normal. The path to profitability is to create addicts. You do this by feeding them more of the addicting substance they they realize.
I'm not sure what you're on about but maybe you forgot to toke up before posting.

- zer8k 3y agoI don't care what people do. I'm not a "karen". I'm reflecting the OP's post. Addiction is addiction and we are talking about it. I'm sorry my opinion is not to continue to let people who have a problem have that problem. As someone who has been an addict I am intimately familiar with both the pipeline to addiction and the behavior of a functional addict. You're the one who engaged in childish name calling. Maybe back off and get some context.
- maxbond 3y agoYou can't post a bunch of pejoratives like "pothead" and "degenerate" and then try to claim you aren't expressing a judgement. Addiction is not addiction, either. Not everything has the same addictive potential, and not every substance creates an equally strong addiction. Frankly, you're making a lot of very strong claims about addiction, but it's pretty clear you aren't knowledgeable in the subject.
