Weed is not addictive.

You can make the argument that one can become dependent on weed despite it having no addictive properties, but you can also make that argument about weird shit like eating toilet paper or playing video games.

You're getting the upvotes in this thread because that other dude is off, but weed is definitely addictive. Or maybe you don't consider gambling addictive because neither necessarily have a chemical component to the addictiveness.

There are also side effects to quitting after prolonged use.

If you think weed is not addictive try not consuming it for 6 months

I've done this regularly. Went from every day use to quitting for a year before becoming a teacher, and have regularly stopped for 6 months to a year for various reasons since.

And you end up falling in it again?

No I end up doing fun things when I want to do fun things

Ok, you fall again

Falling implies the thing is bad.

Am I falling when I play MarioKart with my kids? That's fun and similarly dangerous.

There is no changing a mind that is shut
