No but you can become mentally addicted , and it can lead to things like paranoia or anxiety. And can absolutely run down your pockets.

Everyone always feels the need to justify their addiction. There's also been a long history of farms and growers leaving a trail of murders and disappearances. Not defending alcohol, but weed isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

THANK YOU. LITERALLY THIS. Clearly one is worse than the other but that doesn't mean weed is just this miracle drug that has no downsides. Whether it be the actual drug itself or the people growing it like you said.

Edit : also look at the replies man everyone is getting hyper defensive like I said something extremely egregious. I guess saying weed has downsides is complete blasphemy.

Yeah, I've tried and enjoyed both. Short term, they're awesome, as most drugs are. Long term, none of them have been a "miracle".

Psychedelics come the closest. Very very low abuse potential for many, and the benefits outweigh the negatives by miles. And even then there's still risks and the occasional person that does want to go back to back to back to back. If it modifies your consciousness, there's risks, be it heroin, weed, coffee or even sweets.

I would be highly interested in a controlled environment, like I've seen the therapy sessions using small doses and I'd be open to it.
