Marijuana IS addictive, A cB Service Announcement Options

[DaTru KataLYST]

I find it important enough to post a thread that is related to another topic.

It seems that there is someone that is spreading the word that marijuana is not addictive. Please understand, it IS ADDICTIVE.

I strongly advise you to NOT take illegal drugs. They do NOT help you in your long term life.

DO NOT take illegal drugs. If someone tells you that the drug is easily controlled, it can be true for ALL illegal drugs. Easily controlled DOES NOT mean not addictive! Please remember this difference!

Sorry to preach, but I thought this needed to be said, lest some 11 y/o on cB reads in here that marijuana is not addictive.

What a great topic!

Tis' true, marijuana is quite addictive as I use to smoke it myself. I havent smoked in almost a year now and I am proud to say that. I though oh I will try it and then if I do not like it I will not do it again. Pshh....I couldnt stop and it went on like that for almost a year, I would smoke almost everyday sometimes 2-3 times a day. Finally I started to get serious and I told myself that i needed to quit, it took some time, almost a month I think, and I did just that...QUIT.

It is such an addictive drug even if you tell yourself that it isnt...It really is. It has the same effect as smoking 4 cigs at one time. It is harmful to your health.

Take care of your body people

Consider this hypothetical scenario: A teen just smoked some marijuana, and is half dillusional. He decides to stumble his way to his car to his girlfriend's house. 15 seconds after pulling onto the street he slams into an oncoming car. If he did not wear a seatbelt, he would be dead now. Let's say he didn't slam into a car, lets say he ran a red light because he didn't see it. A car slams into his side, crushing him in a brutally wasted death. Let's say that never happened. He made a California roll on a stop sign next to a school crossing.

Are these results more likely to happen to someone who didn't smoke marijuana in the first place?
