"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.
16 year old me was addicted to one part of my own body. Escapism is a helluva drug.
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.
Painkiller addictions are common
Not with over the counter NSAIDs
Half the girls in my high school were addicted to Tylenol
Are you sure it wasn't Tylenol with codeine?
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.
