According to libertarians (many statist will - unfortunately - prohibit such behavior), it is your right to do anything with your body. But in my opinion, taking any drugs or being dependent on anything is a weakness. Just as you should have the right to damage your body, I should have the right to refuse interactions (on my land where there are my rules) with such people or to disadvantage you through services provided by me. If we were in a anarcho-capitalistic world and if I provide people a health insurance, addicted people would definitely have to pay more, as you are in a more risky group. But because of just smoking weed you would probably pay much less than an alcoholic.
Although I am against any prohibition, I am also against drugs and I do not want any of my closest to become dependent on any substance. I wish you the best, and that includes stop being addicted.
Thing is - you cannot possibly have a physical addiction to marijuana like it is to tobacco, alcohol and other things.
In our bodies we have endocannabinoid system which need cannabis to function properly.
It's not a drug. It's a medicine.
In the article, the chart from a study is shared. You can see there, that marihuana is on the same level as coffeine. So there is a potential to dependence, although it is definitely not so high as in the case of nicotine or alcohol. I think that after years of using it, you should be at least somehow addicted. But I do not know. Maybe if you do not use it so often, you could be OK. Also... the potential to dependence is individual and some people could be "resistant" to these "light drugs". And also the article says that medicine and drug are the same thing.
Here's about that built-in system I was talking about.
The most important physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health.
Have an amazing day!
Ok, thank you. I'll take a look at that. ;)
I appreciate that you spent time with me discussing this problematics.
