Drugs

To get 25 grams for 40$ where I live, you must grow or be close to someone that grows. What you are saying to me is almost literally analagous to getting a brand new PS3 for like 20 dollars. Which is why i'm having trouble wrapping my mind around it if you dont grow or don't know a grower very well. (all of this applying to the US, if you do not live in the US, inform me of what country).

No, it's just the common thing here. Think about it this way, the more acquisitive power, the more expensive drugs get.

Oh, by the way, I live in Argentina, South America, yes, weed is a lot more cheaper here.

So only when a habit is bad is it an addiction? And you're one to talk about double standards.

If you'd cast stereotypes aside, you'll see the point I'm trying to make:

- Habit: frequent activities. Period. Anything you do on a regular basis is a habit. From Biting your nails to masturbating, from playing guitar back to I WHIP MAH HAIR BACK AND FORTH, those are habits.
- Addiction: Addiction is a habit plus the physical and/or psychological dependence on said habit. In a very loose sense, you could say everything you enjoy regularly, from ice cream to music, is your addiction. In tighter terms, only when you make conscious efforts to continue such habits when situations suggest that it be temporarily and/or insignificantly discontinued, I smell an addiction coming.

Yet, again, I try to highlight my point, no smoker ever admits to anyone, even themselves, that they are addicted yet go on and on and on to make themselves look "clean"; and that is what makes weed look bad in the view of the outside world, or at least mine. If weed-addicts are so delusional not to even admit that they like smoking so much that they are slightly/acceptably addicted to it (this is where I differ from you, addiction doesn't have to be negative, there is negative addiction, and allowable addiction), I'm sure it's not going to look safe.

I mean, f'uck, how many examples of addictions have I given already? And smoking is still so high and almighty? If you care about stereotypes so much that you have to keep defending yourselves, well, good for you. I'm a basement dweller who's somewhat dangerously addicted to the computer and I'm proud of it. At least, when acknowledging it, I can see the looming danger to be in better control.

Look at Rob, he does his sh'it but he also knows his sh'it. Has anyone seen him defending himself? Yeah he's just that boss. And the one in control steers safe from the addiction, the "real" addiction if you will, zone, that's what I believe.

Firstly, thanks, it's nice to see someone recognizes my true self behind the screen. Brofist Kal.

Secondly, yes, I'd call addiction to the craving need of smoking.

I'm a social smoker. I've never smoked weed alone. I don't need it, because my life is nice as is. Doing it with friends/girlfriend is pretty awesome though, because we laugh, we get food and crack up and whatever else. To me, when you start to smoke by yourself regularly and you need it to lighten yourself up, you're starting to get addicted to it.

My 2 cents.
