What’s with all the addiction here?

There’s so many stories on here of people addicted to weed or heavier drugs, they try weed for the first time and then can’t stop doing it every single night.

I’ve done drugs but never got hooked on it, I enjoy weed a lot and have an amazing time with it only use it once every couple months.

Is it a personality thing? Genetic?

If people are like me, weed addiction won't last forever. I was addicted for a bit but it ends up getting boring eventually.

It's like a new video game you get addicted to it, play the shit out of it and then you feel less and less into it over time.

It doesn't really effect your dopamine or serotonin and it isn't physically addictive so.. idk. Those posts just aren't a big deal to me.

it’s just a lifestyle, people are able to use all these substances occasionally and as they please, and for that type of group and recreational purpose everything is good but the problem with people on here and addicts I shouldn’t speak foreverybody. but I can promise you, you will know when you’re a true drug addict and I know all the people who read this will know who they are too. alternatively there are individuals like yourself who probably have more of a social life than most of the people on here which in terms of society, you were doing much better than us, but it’s just a lifestyle thing, I don’t understand how you could go months without doing shit just like you don’t understand how I crave it every day

Some people will do anything for an escape and weed is usually cheap, available and less harmful than a lot of other drugs. It can be euphoric, an anxiolytic, downer or an upper. It's a little psychedelic but not debilitatingly.

if you can understand why people drink daily, you can understand why some people use weed daily.
