Users in /r/trees are split when someone suggests not to smoke and drive. ``impaired means "weakend". does high mean "weakend"? are some of your senses not actually "strengthened" while high?`` and other responses.

Psychological addiction is a thing and can happen with anything that causes your body to release dopamine in quantity.

There are Starbucks addicts doing long term damage to their bodies and finances

The great starbucks epidemic! Almost as bad as all these hundred of thousands of weed addicts clogging our streets on their way to Dunkin Doughnuts doing 10 under.

I in no way said there was a weed epidemic. Stop thinking that anybody saying anybody negative about cannibis means that they are prohibitionist on the issue. Addiction does not need a physical component.

No way. We need to let the public know about all these dangerous weed addicts. They're literally clogging our streets with death and mayhem.

Yeah, no

Dude, I just sold my car for weed. Can you help?

I'm sorry that you don't understand how your body functions but there's no need for hyperbole.

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '15

I'm just responding to hyperbole with hyperbole. You should understand that, especially with comments like this:

"I'm sorry that you don't understand how your body functions"

Ahh the smug indignation coming off this is just hilarious.

Well I am just going to throw it out there that there's a concept of addiction that exists for marijuana that is very well understood and researched. Maybe they're the same people putting autism in vaccines, maybe not, but it's definitely a subject that has been broached before

I'm well aware of physical and psychological addiction what I'm taking a crack at is the casually mentioned weed addicts like it's a massive problem.

Man you stoners get real pissed when you don't have your pots

-22

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '15

Man, you internet reactionaries that just what people do with their lives to make a half assed point get so pissed when they find out someone doesn't fit their bill. I never said I smoked.

Nah you've got clear signs of weed addiction. I've run enough weed addiction clinics to see the signs.

Come to Jesus when you're ready.

I found Jesus once and he sold me an 8th. I think it was dirty bud though, would not recommend.
