Well its not all good news, I was going to ask about people who have had anxiety from smoking weed (I have when I first started)


* While marijuana’s “exogenous” cannabinoids also can reduce anxiety, chronic use of the drug down-regulates the receptors, paradoxically increasing anxiety. This can trigger “a vicious cycle” of increasing marijuana use that in some cases leads to addiction.

Actually "high" anxiety is one of the listed side effects of burning the real,
  my dad had a panic attack 40+ years ago that scared the crap outta him.
He was unable to walk, was barely able to call mom on the phone & by the
time she got to him he was unable to move for about 45 minutes, which didn't
make it any easier for me when I wanted to try it. I have never had a panic
attack on weed, but I have had many using blends. I find they become easier
to deal with the more often you have a few, cause by then You know inside that
it is gonna be allright, in a little while man

Far as marijuana causing addiction, let us examine this word for a moment. Addiction, to me describes
an acceptance of the terms of your use of anything & everything, and the potential willingness to try it
again. For instance the first time I rode a bicycle, I liked it. Even after wrecking the bicycle several times
& learning to accept the pain I still wanted to ride. Can we not theorize that I
had become addicted to this riding? Same thing with waking up, or drinking coffee, driving the car. Damn
even washing dishes has become an ugly, disgusting addiction in my household simply because no matter
how much I dislike this chore I found my need to eat from clean utensils & plates has overwhelmed my other
need which is to not touch the nasty filthy stuff in my sink ( I don't presently have a dishwasher...) All I'm really
trying to show is that the word addiction , seems to me at least to be a buzzword to describe some so called"evil
activity" so whenever I see the word "addiction" I figure whatever I am looking at is slanted to show that the person
who wrote the piece already doesn't like whatever he is writing about.


sorry for all that The Wax got me...
