    With so many states (US) legalizing weed, people are quickly forgetting that yes, pot is a drug and yes, it is addivitve.

      Roughly 1 out of 10 people who use cannabis will develop a cannabis addiction. This number rises to up to 1 out of 2 people among individuals who use cannabis daily or near-daily. While males have higher rates of cannabis addiction, females typically progress more quickly to cannabis addiction than males. A number of factors can increase the likelihood of developing a Cannabis Use Disorder or addiction including: trauma, a personal or family history of alcohol or drug problems, lower income level, genetic factors, being male, persistent anti-social behaviours, persistent cigarette smoking, and positive response to cannabis at first use.

      Right, at least on the blackmarket they always put the “careful: addictive” warning labels on it so people would know. And how will people know it’s dangerous when you can’t even go for prison for it anymore?

      Stupid legal weed.
