I have a friend and the wax makes her itchy for some reason, but the jewel full melt (water extraction instead of butane) works for her just fine

* 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...

I dont think addiction is an evil word, just something that describes an over reliance on something and even though it has negative effects on you, you can't stop. Marijuana gets you high, so its not impossible for someone to get addicted to it (after all, people get addicted to sex, gambling, eating, online shopping which all have chemical changes going on in the brain), so I do think it's a bit silly to compare that washing dishes. I think since marijuana is being legalized, we need to present the truth about all aspects of weed, not just the good parts. That's responsibly informing drug users of potential effects. There are forums on bluelight and drugs-forum where people have described being addicted to it, and I certainly am not one to deny someone else's experience with addiction. Just saying, lots of positives come with it, but some negatives as well.

One of my problems with marijuana is if I use too much of it for too long It will no longer get me high.
Therefore I can't call it an addiction. I was addicted to meth and I used it every 4 hours every day, except
when I was sleeping--Now that was an addiction. Marijuana just isn't strong enough for it to become an addiction for me.
I take a shower every morning, but I can stop anytime I want--Does that make it just a Bad Habit? Maybe a better example of
a bad habit is everyone's need to defecate. I don't want to have to 3-4 times a day, but nonetheless you will find me in the
bathroom 3-4 times a day doing just that. Is that a dangerous addiction, since it is Fully out of my control to stop?
