Do you consider Marijuana a hard drug and do you believe that you can become addicted to it?

[Simslover92]

[glennos89]

Marijuana is a softdrugs to me... Heroïne and crack cocaïne are hard drugs. You cannot put marijuana in the same categorie as the ones who destroy lifes.

That being said... Addiction to marijuana is definitely a real thing but the consequences of being addicted to it is mostly lazziness and procastination. The majority of people won't be ruing there own lifes or the lifes of other people around them once they get addicted to it. Therefore its considered a softdrug.

Is their no danger involved then?

Yes there is 1 real danger involved with using marijuana. Marijuana alone or especially when it's combined with other medicines/drugs can cause psychoses! This only accurs to a very small amount of people and it's usually happening to people that already suffer from other mental health conditions. But psychoses is a real threat of you are mental health isn't that great

[Simslover92]

So someone with schizophrenia should definitely not take it even if they take meds to control the schizophrenia?

[glennos89]

I wouldn't recommend anyone with schizophrenia taking any substances because things can easily spiral out of control if they listen to the voices in their head. I know someone who has this condition and he becomes very weird when he drinks to much alcohol

[Simslover92]

Oh ok. Thanks.

[Kelley1]

@Simslover92 I don't know whether or not marijuana would help reduce schizophrenia. However, if it helps, I wouldn't recommend against it.

[Simslover92]

@Kelley1 ok thanks.

[SteveSmith1985]

It's definitely not a hard drug. It can definitely be addictive, for some people.

Marijuana is so much safer than hard drugs... In every way.

They are so far apart that using the word "Drugs" to describe marijuana is misleading.

Marijuana is definitely not a hard drug.

[Simslover92]

It's a gateway drug though isn't it?

[SteveSmith1985]

First. I smoke too much weed myself. I think that anyone's life is just fine for not smoking weed. I am not encouraging you, or anyone else to smoke weed.

The gateway drug thing is a false way to look at it. So... talk to anybody who has had issues with real drugs (hard drugs)... and yes, marijuana is almost certainly the first "drug" they began with.

But that doesn't mean marijuana was responsable for that. It does introduce you to the crinal underworld. Where it's illegal. But whatever it is, that makes a person inclined to want to try heroin, or methamphetamie, or crack or anything else... has nothin to do with them smoking weed.

Marijuana is so common and safe, that it is the first drug most anyone would try. But all the people who smoked too much weed along with me in high school... don't smoke very oftenb these days. They grew out of it.

But the vast majority of people... smoke weed occasionally, when they've set some time asside to do so. And it's a big deal and a fun night. Problematic weed smoking for sure is a problem for a percentage of people.

The problem with thiking of weed as a drug, is that... once you smoke weed, and realize it's... not this horrible drug... like real drugs. So you underestimate the degree to which... real drugs are a whole other thing.

But most people who smoke weed do not use hard drugs.

Most hard drug users started by smoking weed.

It's not a gateway. It's just the first drug someone inclined to try crack is likely to be exposed to.

There's no causation there. It doesn't MAKE you more likely to do hard drugs (unless you think that the stuff people say about drugs being bad, is all bullshit... because you've realized they were lying about how bad weed is).

[SteveSmith1985]

Again. I am not advocating that someone smoke weed. But it is not a bad thing. In the same universe as real drugs. In terms of fuckiing up your life, addiction, and physical safety.

I went from days of dealers worrying police were tapping their landline... to weed being made totally legal. It's been legal here for I donno...5 or 6 years? And so you can go buy it from the store. And it's all very... mundane. Not a big deal.

So if someone you know or care about is smoking weed, and you're concerned about it. I would say, that's fine to be concerned, if they're smoking too much (all day every day kinda thing). But someone who smokes a joint... like say... you would have a beer... is not any more problematic than someone drinking a beer. Same shit.

Marijuana is safer than alcohol.

If I had to choose one for my kid to use, and they would only use one. It would be to use marijuana for sure.

It is FARTHER from hard drugs than alcohol is. FOR SURE. (in every way).

[Kelley1]

There is no evidence to support marijuana being a gateway drug. Using the same criteria, mothers' milk is a gateway drug since a higher percentage of children who were on mothers' milk end up using drugs. Neither marijuana nor mothers' milk causes people to use drugs. However, people prone to using marijuana are the type more likely to use drugs, and that would be the case whether or not marijuana were available.

The same for mothers' milk. Children living in poverty are more likely to have mothers' milk. Poor people are more likely to use drugs. That would be true whether or not they were fed mothers' milk.

[Simslover92]

Thanks to both of you for clearing that up!

[exitseven]

@Kelley1 Why not ask the Sheriffs that run the local jails if it is a gateway drug? The vast majority of the people locked up in county jails are in there for drug offenses. The vast majority of heroin addicts started with smoking weed. Connect the dots.

[Kelley1]

@exitseven The idea that "correlation implies causation" is an example of a questionable-cause logical fallacy.

[exitseven]

@Kelley1 If it walks like a duck...

[Kingofkings1992]

@exitseven marijuana is no more a “gateway drug” than alcohol is. The whole concept of a “gateway drug” is flawed. The only reason these two substances are commonly stated with before moving on to other things is just that: they are commonly used, and very socially accepted.

[exitseven]

@Kingofkings1992 No, It is because the kids start associating with other druggies and soon get talked into trying other things. They think it is harmless but do not see themselves as other see them. Others notice strange behavior and a change in attitude. Internally they think that they are okay.
I worked across the street from the largest pot dispensary in the city. It is not legal for them to bo business with banks so all transactions are in cash. As a result they only let a few people in at a time and the rest are lined up outside. It looks like the line outside a homeless shelter.

[Kingofkings1992]

@exitseven not even bothering reading what you wrote, because I already know you’re wrong lol. www.google.com/search

[Kingofkings1992]

@exitseven overwhelming amounts of evidence have debunked the gateway theory a long time ago. If anything, alcohol is more of a gateway drug than marijuana is.

[Kingofkings1992]

@exitseven no one starts smoking weed, and then says “let’s do some cocaine now.” However, though, tons of people have that thought after drinking

[exitseven]

@Kingofkings1992 I just know that everyone who got messed up with drugs I knew in the 80s started with getting high with pot. Everyone..

[Kingofkings1992]

@exitseven and? One of the first points that Google search that I posted points out states: correlation does not equate to causation. Many factors contribute to that. It’s not one single linear cause and effect explanation. You can feel free to scream into the darkness all you want, but the gateway theory was debunked decades ago.

[WhiteSteve]

Lmfao, no, definitely not a hard drug. I blaze all the time, since forever, and it just kind of alters my mood a bit, but I’m still completely functional and the same as I always am.

Like I used to play semipro football, full-contact, real football against 250, 300 lb MFers, and there were a few road games where we smoked a blunt on the way up. I would NEVER play ball on anything else, even alcohol. That idea sounds terrifying, lmao. Weed was whatever. I’d maybe opt to not do that, only due to minor short term memory lapses, like “wait…. what did he say the snap count was on?”😂

If I’m at 100 sober, I’m at like 99.9999 stoned. It’s just not that kind of buzz. I can’t speak for everyone, I guess, but myself, for sure. Observationally, I’d say the same, other than a few people who it seems to not agree with. But those are the people who just don’t burn, and that’s the reason why. It’s not like they do it anyway and are just always freaked out😂 They just tried it a handful of times and don’t like it, or I’ve heard some say the effects changed for them, but in all cases, they just stopped using it.

I think psychological addiction is possible, but not really physical. I’d just say I don’t sleep well if I’m not regularly using THC. But I took a tolerance break that I just let run for about 90 days. I was fine, I just didn’t enjoy it, because I prefer being able to use it. But I wasn’t like scratching and going through withdrawals or anything, and I go through a good amount of bud, and for a long time. Case in point, even after 90 days I wasn’t able to pass a home drug test. That shit is just IN ME🤣

But I remember the first time I smoked after that I was like “WHOA😵‍💫”, haha. But then that went away after a couple times too. I think it really only affects you in a significant way if it just doesn't generally agree with you, or if you don’t use it with any regularity. Or if you just took way, WAY too much in the form of something edible. Otherwise, it’s tough to really get yourself spun in a way where you aren’t functional.

As Dave Chappelle says: “It’s a background substance. You ain’t CRISP…. but you’ll function.”😂😂😂

https://www.youtube.com/embed/ze7CiKeVxe0

I feel like I’m still very crisp though. Maybe I’m just really good at it😝

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Chemical perspective, about substance. In how the term is used around me, by medcare, it isn't considered a "hard drug", but... "Cannabis use, through the action of Δ-9-THC, favors the emergence of psychotic disorders, precipitates the onset of the illness in vulnerable subjects and, on the other hand, alters the evolution of the pathology among those who have already developed it." (source)

Psychological perspective, about addiction. Many things can be a "hard drug", in the sense of harmfully addictive, separate from what a substance is objectively. So, yes, I believe THC can be a hard drug, like alcohol, like work, like sex, like video games, like books even. When one uses an activity in response to a constant need to forget thinking, feeling and/or remove themselves from the world around.

[Communicationisking]

I love your answer and it is written well but I can't agree that it is a hard drug, for instance alcohol for a person that say drinks a bottle or two a day of spirits and stops suddenly can actually die due to physical addiction but a person that smokes a million bongs a day and stops there is no such thing. ie. it won't potentially kill them. Same as if they stop working, stop having sex, stop playing video games or reading books. Yes they all have a dopamine response but if they stop there is no potential death if they do.
I acknowledge this quote from your opinion as true " When one uses an activity in response to a constant need to forget thinking, feeling and/or remove themselves from the world around".

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

@Communicationisking
Then this partial disagreement looks due to the fact that you define the term hard in hard drug as life threatening. While, for me, I define hard in a broader sense, it's already "hard" to me when it is related to psychological consequences. I suppose it means that I view drugs as always hard somehow? I'll have to think about it

[Communicationisking]

I like your response. You make me think about it too now.
Love intelligent conversation. Much appreciated ❤

[Lliam]

It's definitely not a hard drug. Not even close.
Abraham Lincoln once said that his favorite thing to do was to sit on his porch, smoke "sweet hemp" (his words) and play his harmonica.

You can't od on it. At most, it will make you fall asleep with no hang overs or side effects. It's far, far, far safer than alcohol.

It's not at all physically addictive, but people can get hooked on the feeling and develop a desire to get high all the time. That's not the nature of weed, itself. It's a function of certain people's personalities. Some people are just obsessive/compulsive when it comes to things that make them feel good. But most people aren't effected in that way.
I know lots of people, a surprising number, who are school teachers, corporate VPs, business people, tradesmen, etc, etc. who smoke weed occasionally and have no addictions or negative effects. It's like the ability to enjoy cocktails without becoming an alcoholic.

It's not a gateway drug. That's unprovable, "Reefer Madness" propaganda. There's nothing about weed that makes a person say, "Gee, I think I want to try heroin, meth or cocaine."
It's more like, people who like to get high are more likely to try other means as well as weed. But that doesn't mean that the majority of people who try weed are going to go on to hard drugs. I didn't.
Also, when weed is illegal, people who smoke it are sort of forced to buy it from and associate with people who do other illicit drugs.

If weed was sold like alcohol, it would be perfectly safe.

[HelpfulGirlll]

aren't there stronger strains than existed back then?

[Lliam]

@HelpfulGirlll. Some strains were higher quality than others. Like coffee, it came from different regions. Common names were Colombian, Acapulco Gold, Oaxaca, Michoacan, and so on.
But back in the day, they didn't spend time on processing. A bag of weed contained dried buds, seeds, leaves and stems. So you had to spend time removing "sticks and seeds" before you could roll a doobie. It was often old and dried out, too.

Now days, they don't just grow large farm fields of indica or sativa and ship it hundreds of miles. People have developed a wide variety of seedless, hybrids. It's more like an artisan industry. And they trim the buds very carefully. And it's WAY more expensive.
So, the few times I've smoked since 2002, the weed had been MUCH more potent than back in the day. A couple of puffs and I was done.

[ohsheeT]

No it's not a hard drug. And it was in the Bible by another name and it would heal everything.

Oh for sure I could addicted to the weed but then I would be hungry. And . I would be addicted to weed and food. Then I would get fat so then I would start doing speed to lose the weight oh crap then I would be addicted to 4 things. Then I would meet a addicted big girl who is addicted to everything I'm addicted to. We would hit it off. Start having sex. Omg now we are addicted to kinky sex

And the we would start fighting because I had a Donut one morning And now we're addicted to those. Damn My life just past in front of me. Well maybe I can smoke it and not inhale

[Chazmatazz269]

Marijuana can be psychologically addictive. It has more to do with the physiology and psychology of the user than the psychoactive effects of the drug, but that is so with all addictions.
Despite the “war on drugs” propaganda, there is no such drug that instantly and permanently hooks everyone who uses it on the first try. People are different, and we are the ones who suffer addiction in a variety of ways and for a variety of reasons.
There’s a lot of ignorance surrounding addiction, particularly in the west. It might be the second greatest taboo behind sex.

[sage2021]

I believe that back in the 60's and 70's it was some good 💩👍🏼!! It was pure with no chemical additives. It was $10/lid and $15/lid for the real good stuff.
I'm not exactly sure if it was during the 80's or when but they added chemicals to it. One was called DC14 in the 80's. I don't think they put that drug in it anymore though because they have stronger and better chemicals now like TCH in it.

So yes, I would consider it a hard drug now for sure.
Not sure if it's addictive but maybe the chemicals they are adding to it now are probably where the addiction comes from.

[DonaldDarko]

No, it's less of a problem than alcohol. If everyone would just smoke weed instead of boozing it up the crime rate would drop over night. Of course it would be even better if people stopped using intoxicants all together but that's not going to happen. As to addiction people get addicted to all kinds of things even food if you look at "Dank Demoss" and such people, fat af and headed for the grave. Gambeling addiction is also common, no drug there at all but it's still a common addition.

[genericname85]

i would say it's a hard drug. you can develop physical addiction (despite stoner propaganda saying you can't which is a lie). you can also get lung cancer just like from smoking, in fact marijuana even has more of the cancerous substances and you tend to inhale it deeper into the lung but unlike from smoking you have a massively increased risk for psychosis and other terrible psychological illnesses if you smoke marijuana so i wouldn't call it a soft drug by any means. yeah you're not gonna die from one joint but if that's not the definition of a "hard drug". that would be the definition of deadly poison. but you are likely to get psychosis, cancer and cardiovascular issues.

[Kingofkings1992]

Absolutely false

[Kingofkings1992]

😆😆

[genericname85]

@Kingofkings1992 what exactly was absolutely false?

[genericname85]

@Theodish_Warrior yeah alcohol is a worse drug. that's why i think it's hilarious that weed is forbidden in some places but alcohol isn't. but just cause alcohol is worse doesn't mean weed is a harmless drug.

[genericname85]

@Theodish_Warrior also i wasn't comparing weed with alcohol. so since i asked you what was wrong about what i said, what you replied to that had nothing to do with your initial claim that all i said was false. so i guess your initial response was just attention seeking bullshit then.

[Kingofkings1992]

@genericname85 just about every word of it is false

[genericname85]

@Kingofkings1992 can you point out one thing I said that was false? You somehow blathered a lot but never did that. I won't let you get away with bullshit. I'm open to admitting mistakes and being corrected but you can't just say I'm wrong when I'm not.

[genericname85]

@Theodish_Warrior yeah you were making all kinds of points that had nothing to do with what I said and You're still claiming "all I said is wrong " while not having falsified one single thing. So conclusion: You're just full of shit. A bunch of hot air. Nothing else.

[genericname85]

@Theodish_Warrior I'm not American at all by the way, I'm German as you could have known by just taking a look at my profile but I guess you just like blathering incoherent nonsense :D

[genericname85]

@Theodish_Warrior you're still blathering incoherent nonsense and still not one single falsification of what i said despite you claiming everything was false. so you're still full of shit. i can play this game forever, if you like it :)

[Kingofkings1992]

@genericname85 hello? I said what you said was false. That’s a different person. Wow you are inept

[genericname85]

Kingofkings1992: "@genericname85 just about every word of it is false". was that not you? or did you mean what the other guy said was false?

[genericname85]

@Theodish_Warrior someone attacked me for being a generic American when I'm not. Don't remember if it was you or the other guy. I wouldn't have brought it up otherwise.

[genericname85]

@Theodish_Warrior well I disagree with what people regard as hard drug and what a soft drug. Can't argue opinions.

[genericname85]

@Theodish_Warrior "probably me". but then you try to get a gotcha on me for "bringing up my heritage for no reason". now i'm convinced you're demented. cya. i'm wasting my time with morons.

[nawtee_me]

Addiction is not considered to be a disease. With that being said, addiction carries certain characteristics. One of which is the lack of control concerning whatever you are addicted to. In this case marijuana. I do not think that marijuana causes the out of control tendency that would have a user doing whatever it takes to be able to buy it.
However some look at the inability to stop as being the out of control tendency. Personally I do not use marijuana since I can be drug tested at work. But to me just because I don’t stop doesn’t mean I can’t stop. Which is what a lot of people might think. As I said I don’t use it but I used to and thst is the reason I can speak on the subject as I do. So to answer the question, no I do not think it is a hard drug or that you can get addicted to it. But with that said, I am sure there are people that would abuse it to the point where others may believe them to be addicted….

[Screenwriter]

Marijuana is not a hard drug, but like coffee, though coffee addiction is physical, you can become psychologically addicted to it. studies have shown.

And marijuana seems to make you want to smoke or imbibe MORE marijuana which seems to kill your drive to do anything other than to be a pothead. You become a sloth.

So, it should, like alcohol, only be done on occasion, or it can interfere with your life.

[Cormac995]

Yes, it's addicting in a way. Physically there are no withdrawal symptoms you won't get sick or end up in the hospital if you quit cold turkey but it's psychologically addictive because it's relaxing and habit forming. I say this as someone who smokes daily and frankly more than I should. I'm trying to cut back some for financial and health reasons, but it also helps a lot with my stress depression and back pain.

[4ngelic]

it's not a hard drug no, but it's not good. the risk of marijuana isn't addiction (very low chance) but that long term use, especially heavy long term use, can lead to shizophrenia. i knew a guy like that personally who starting having psychotic symptoms because of his weed consumption. he had to be interned in a psych hospital. it also often causes obesity because of munchies

[alli-112]

Objectively not a hard drug. Scientifically speaking marijuana is not considered highly addictive, but it is possible, though not probable, to become addicted (but like, keep in mind that you can technically become addicted to just about anything to some degree).

Note: I do not personally smoke or otherwise consume cannabis

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Street Pharmacist’s are all around the world & as for devil’s lettuce although it’s a drug I don’t consider it a hard drug & like booger sugar, nose candy or the needle nonsense.

As for hitting the pipe sure people can get addicted just like people are addicted to cigarettes or caffeine & yes caffeine is a drug.

Another hard drug is viagra.

[Stevepro68]

There is no doubt that by the broad definition of addicted to THC in all its forms is addictive. Emotionally and behaviorally addictive as a means of emotional modulation. If by "hard drugs" you mean the one that have dangerous withdrawal symptoms? Well then yes the has been SI and suicide involved with withdrawal. If by hard drugs you mean severe debilitating and dangerous physiological problems. Like seizures from let's say prescription benzodiazepines. Then no it is not a hard drug.

[Finchie40]

Not really unless it’s laced with shit , I don’t consider it an addictive drug to me , but it can be addictive to others’ I know pot heads that have to smoke everyday or their day will be shot , knock on wood I never got addicted to marijuana whatsoever, even though i do smoke it here and there. But I can easily go without it

[NathanDavis]

I don't consider it a hard drug, because it is not a hard drug

but... what I consider an addiction, and this being an unstoppable habit that negative impacts few or all aspects of your life... yes I know people who are addicted to mariguana and other drugs... and also some who are addicted to just the mariguana

so, that's not a matter of belief... it's just a fact for some people out there

[Kaneki05]

No. And no.

To have addiction to weed that causes physical dependency, you fall into the same psychological effect as those who believe they have something medically wrong with them so it starts showing symptoms. Yet they've got no such medical issue. It's a purley psychological bluff than chemical addiction.

[Communicationisking]

I don't think it is a hard drug but every drug can be abused and also people can form habits even with things such as coffee, mj is no different. I think people that self medicate for reasons such as but not limited to concentration or pain or hiding from something etc. etc. are more prone to forming habits that could be either bad or not bad.

[FreyaRed]

Cannabinoids stimulate receptors and neurotransmitters which cause dopamine release. Uncontrolled dopamine release is addictive.
Cannabinoids remain over months stored in fat tissue and is released in small doses from time to time, that's why withdrawal appears to be much milder

[Lynx122]

I don't consider it a hard drug. I've had some strong marijuana but if it's too much you can just stop smoking and rest :) But most marijuana, that isn't specifically made to be unnaturally strong, is quite mild and relaxing. I do think you can get addicted to it if you do it all the time but I don't think it's highly addictive.

[HelpfulGirlll]

Some people are hypersensitive too

[exitseven]

People say it is not a herd drug but that is because the pot people grew in the 60s was a lot less potent that what is out there today. There are also forms of the drug that are purified and much more powerful.
Everyone says it is not addictive but there are many that become addicted to it and cannot function without it. It also causes psychosis and severe body cramps.
I never saw it do anything good to anybody.

[Kingofkings1992]

Marijuana does not cause psychosis. Wow you are unbelievably misinformed.

[exitseven]

@Kingofkings1992 Not according to the AMA. I believe them before i believe somebody that smokes that stuff;

[exitseven]

@Kingofkings1992 that is because you are psychotic.

@exitseven no, I’m just not a retard, like you are

[exitseven]

@Kingofkings1992 you cannot say retard anymore.

[Bricealan]

@Simslover92 Don't believe it is a "hard" drug, and I have smoked it when in the Military, on occasion, but found that it was very hard on my lungs, and also told it was very carcinogenic. I know others who seem to be addicted to it.

[ChiTown33]

Marijuana ain't a drug. It's a plant! It just grows like that. For something to be a drug you got add something, baking soda, water, strip it up,... I don't know the recipe, I'm just sayin.🤣

[dustybiker2]

The pharmaceutical company will say anything to discredit more holistic forms of treatment in order to push the sales of their toxic drugs. Profit profit profit

[Likes2drive]

It’s not a hard drug and know plenty of people that use it and never got addicted to it and just use it once in awhile, it’s definitely natural and they grow their own so nobody can add stuff to it, probably why it’s becoming legal in more and more states here but I’m not allowed to use because of my job so I really don’t know if it really can be addictive like cigarettes , I’ve never smoked either

[andreasderjuengere]

I've tried some - and found it boring for myself.

I did not get addicted.

I grow some ganja in my garden - for cooking or for making medical stuff.

If it's a ''drug'', then not more than TV or smearphone gaming.

[andreasderjuengere]

A late afterthought... how about:
''Marijuana does not drug people, ... it's the people who smoke it that does it'' :D

[ChicoFromThe305]

It's not addictive but it is known for becoming a habit which it can be almost the same thing is someone lacks self control and bad at dealing with temptations.

[molonski2]

Its far more harmful than most realise and smoking anything is never good , you certainly can become addicted , especially with the gear grown these days.

[Massageman]

I has been proven that it can be addictive. It is a "gateway" drug leading to drugs that are even worse and more addictive. Anything with a measurable THC level should be an Rx, or totally illegal.

[Paige90]

Not a hard drug and you don't become addicted to it. Alcohol is a lot worse!

[WonderingManII]

Yes I think it is, and yes it is addicting. That is what I was always told growing up. So I don't know why it's becoming so legal. But oh well, I'm not smoking it.

[hotcrossbunny]

Not a hard drug but I guess addiction is easy if you enjoy it.

[chrissykerdock]

most if not all give up pot hen they date me

[abc3643]

I don't consider it a hard drug but you can develop an addiction to it.

[Anonymous]

Marijuana is not a hard drug and it's not addictive. But it's true what they say, marijuana is a gateway drug. I've seen it happen way too many times to believe otherwise.

[Dargil]

Back in the day, it was ordinary. Now its laced.

[AviatorTom]

I wouldn't call it a hard drug but it can be addictive, similar to smoking cigarettes.

[SotiCoto]

It isn't and you can't.
Source: my late father grew and sold the stuff. I've had quite a bit of experience.

[DrPepper12]

No. It's safer than alcohol that's for sure. Yes, you can become psychologically addicted but not physically

[Xawyx-2]

I would never take any drug, light or hard.

There are people who are addicted to marijuana.

[Shiprex]

No and unlikely but there are negative things about the use of it.

[dudeinohio]

When I went through my alcohol rehab, there were several Marijuana addicts there. Yes, it is medically considered an addicting drug.

[AngryCarl2]

I don't consider it a hard drug but I can't say anything about it from personal experience. My understanding is that it's not addictive.

[UrbanLeather]

Lol only the backwards MAGA Christian nuts think it is a hard drug aka Jeff Sessions

[MannMitAntworten]

Is it “hard”? No. Is it addictive? Clearly it is, yes.

[RedInnocent69]

Addiction is a genetic predisposition, much greater than a desire or preference. I’d say no, but that’s just me. It might be for others

[dougeats]

no and no lol Some older people still live in the past or some religious freaks also. Its all natural

[Staximus]

Marijuana is weak unless you eat it. Then you're fucked if you eat too much haha

No, it is not a hard drug, addiction is unlikely though not impossible.

[LiaRaven]

I’ve tried it once and I panicked lol
I wouldn’t use it again

[TwoToTooTutu2]

It doesn't fit the definition of a hard drug. It most certainly is addictive.

[Ariesman81]

The drug itself may not be addictive, but the effect of escaping reality is.

Not exactly because it doesn't create dependency the gameplay other drugs do. You enjoy the feeling.

No weed is not a hard drug but it can be addictive depending on the person.
