I assume expothead is implying that the phsyical act of smoking a bong is also something which people become addicted to, rather than the actual substance they are smoking. I'd have to agree with this, and its clear to me that expothead certainly does know what he/she is talking about.
Do you mean weed alone or weed mixed with tobacco? Obviously, mixed with tobacco will produce more physical dependence. Still, marijuana alone is one of the most psychologically addictive drugs I've ever come across.
How psychologically addictive something is depends entirely on the person. It has nothing to do with the substance.
Come back and talk to me when you and all of your friends need the shit everyday just to feel normal. Then I'll respect your opinion on the subject. Go back and read my post properly as well; I wasn't getting depressed/anxious because I had to quit weed. I quit weed because I was getting depressed and anxious.
Not everyone who uses gets depressed or experiences anxiety. I've been smoking all day every day for 5 years, and I havn't experienced anything like that (except maybe from a few select high strength sativa strains).
Marijuana is hazardous to your health, it has more known carcinogens than tobacco. Smoking bongs is also counter-productive. Although the water filters out some of the shit, it still pushes smoke deeper into your lungs, which fucks you up in the long-run.
From the studies I've read, there is no evidence that cannabis is carcinogenic. In fact, these studies showed that cannabis actually seemed to decrease the risk of cancer.
How the fuck am I being hypocritical? Because I say opiates are better for your health than weed? They are, and I have the research to back me up on this. Opiates come out better than alcohol and tobacco as well. Physical harm that results from opiate use comes about from the practices used to administrate the drug, not from the drug itself. Once again, big difference. Same could be said for weed though; but how many potheads do you know that only eat the shit?
On a single per use basis, having an opiate once probably is safer than cannabis. The danger lies in the fact that opiates are far far more addictive.
Banging dope of an unknown purity with unsterilized equipment will seriously shorten your life. However, if I took pure codeine everyday and you smoke bongs everyday, I guarantee I'd live longer and be healthier. That's a fact.
I've taken codeine every day for two years, and it was the most damaging thing I've done to my body. Far worse than cannabis, nicotine and alcohol combined (which I've also used daily for extended periods). Thats no fact though, just my opinion.
