      “But it’s impossible to be addicted to weed.”

      - People who don’t realize you can be addicted to literally anything.

      I knew a guy who was addicted to ibuprofen. He wasn’t even taking it for pain.

        My addiction ed for new techs that were hired with few to no actual psych qualifications is that they’re almost definitely addicted to something and just happen to be lucky enough that it’s legal. Common legal addictions:

        • nicotine
        • caffeine
        • gambling including microtransaction phone games
        • social media
        • pornography
        • processed sugar

                If half the girls in my school were addicted to codeine, that would have been a major scandal, lives would have been ruined. This was treated more like a minor inconvenience, they all had low grade migraines they treated by popping tylenols all day long. To be honest I’d be surprised if some of them didn’t fuck up their livers a bit.

                    I honestly think it was a sign of the stress they were under. It was a private school and a lot of parents had unreasonable expectations for their children’s, especially their daughters’, performance.

        I don’t smoke anymore, but back when I was working as a line cook I used to smoke like a chimney. I’m real happy I stopped, my sleep took a while to get better but now it’s way more restful then when I smoked. Weed is chill in moderation, not if it’s your only way to relax after a long day of too many hours under high pressure.

        Still get a bit of a craving every now and then, but I think it’s just when I’m bored.
