Would you be happy with Gregory at pick #22?

Uh, OK. It is a lack of willpower, but these same people have enough will power to not be alcoholics. Believe what you want. I know what I have seen with my own eyes. It's not like I've never seen addicts, before.

Everyone has its own demons. Some prefer alcohol to forget what troubles they have, others prefer pot to relax all the stress of the day.
But withdrawal symptoms from alcohol can give you delirium tremens or even death, marihuana withdrawal is like leaving coffee. If you don't have it you won't suffer physical symptoms or hallucinations, headaches at worst.

My point is that mj isn't a heavy drug that can cause you by itself to send your life to a shithole

And we have already agreed that it isn't physically addicted, but you can continue to dismiss my experience, if you like.

Sorry guys, I highly disagree about THC. It is categorized as a drug, and by definition IS an addictive substance. Don't believe me? Ask the government:

http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/marijuana-addictive

I personally think Gregory started in HS if not earlier and was a daily user in college. Thus failing 3 tests in 15mos. Kid will have trouble kicking the grass monster and has already admitted to be "dependent on it" in the past and "always thinking about it". Sounds like addiction to me.

even in the gov page link you quote says the following about withdrawal:

Marijuana addiction is linked to a mild withdrawal syndrome. Frequent marijuana users often report irritability, mood and sleep difficulties, decreased appetite, cravings, restlessness, and/or various forms of physical discomfort that peak within the first week after quitting and last up to 2 weeks.

nothing that really could **** you up, so my opinion, based in all I've read on sci papers and heard from users I personally knew is that if you aren't able to let it go is because you don't want to
