Sure, cannabis triggering the reward system is totally not physical addiction

Gambling triggers the reward system. Is gambling physically addictive?

THC triggers the reward system, gambling doesn't have a substance per se

You have not provided a shred of evidence that cannabis is physically addictive. No medical studies whatsoever.

THC is literally what makes marijuana psychoactive, and it triggers the reward system. Pretty sure that's physically addictive

Being 'pretty sure' is not scientific evidence. You have none.

I've literally linked you a source that says THC messes with the reward system

Yes. And that is not the same as physical addiction. I already told you that. Your source does not prove your claim. I don't think you even read it.

You do not go into withdrawal if you stop using cannabis even if you have used it for 20 years. If it was physically addictive, you would.

It is simply not physically addictive.

I don't know why it has to be physically addictive for you to have a problem with it, but it still isn't.

If you don't think you go through drug withdrawal syndrome when leaving weed try not using it for a year, I insist

Again- feel free to present scientific evidence.

Once again, not a scientific paper. Also a website with a clear agenda.

Unlike "Why weed should be legal", a news article cited in this same post
