Yes, but addictiveness is the issue. In my personal experience, light drugs have comparatively low addictiveness (compared to "drugs-non-drugs" like nicotine and alcohol), while sugar (/junk food) has a much higher one.
If I happen to consume more than usual, I find sugar (/junk food) really hard to cut, but not light drugs.
Keep in mind that a vast majority of Americans are overweight or obese. Under the addictiveness angle, one can say that the majority of the American population has an addiction, and it's to junk food, more than light drugs.
- Wytwwww 3y agoI think psychological dependence is a lot bigger concern for most people when talking about alcohol/weed or even sugar. > Under the addictiveness angle, one can say that the majority of the American population has an addiction That doesn't mean that junk food is inherently "addictive" and there are many other reasons for this.
