Pot addiction is a very real thing, and people downplay it a ton. Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% for the complete freedom to access and use pot for whatever reason you wish, just as I am for other drugs like heroine, alcohol, and cocaine. But there are unhealthy habits you can develop that do negatively impact your life if you use it unrelentingly.

Pot addiction isn't typically as directly harmful as other drugs. Pot itself isn't toxic, which helps, and most of its impacts on mood, for those who enjoy it, are relaxing effects, but many people develop unhealthy dependency on pot, and even can have withdrawal symptoms from going without.

I downvoted your comment simply because it feels like you're downplaying what this person feels their relationship with pot is like. I agree with the sentiment across this thread. It's fine to smoke pot, and to do so freely, but I think we also need to acknowledge that there is irresponsible, dependant, and dangerous habits we can experience with any addictive substance, be it pot, alcohol, caffeine, food.

It's not a problematic addiction. At least at the moment. But it is an addiction nonetheless.
