There may be a higher prevalence of someone becoming addicted when they start using from a young age but the fact of the matter is that anyone at any age came become highly addicted to drugs. It takes a mere string of bad luck to push some people over from casual user to highly addicted. And older people usually have the means to purchase the hardcore drugs. I also think its extremely foolhardy for people to write off “casual” drug use of socially acceptable drugs as not a big thing. Alcohol being a prime example, has taken more lives than most any other drug out there. But people still think No real harm if people are “responsible” BS. As Ive said Ive known a close person who has gone from the “small,” stuff to the hardcore drugs and ruin their lives, Ive knew a kid from high school who overdosed and died because of it (who was a casual user). I knew another kid from high school who was drinking during his birthday, fell over a railing from a few stories up and is permanently disfigured because of it. A long time family friend who graduated with High Honors from Harvard happened to be moderately drunk one night after graduating, fell off over a balcony and died. So to say that these “causal” drugs are harmless is profoundly stupid to say. It takes nothing more than a slight mishap while drunk or high for some serious bad sh!* to occur, but by all means think of drug use as a casual thing to do, but don’t think you cant be just another statistic because of your “casual” lifestyle, and because you do it “responsibly” Hahanah so ridiculous.
Okay, I'm going to say this again: it is IMPOSSIBLE for someone to become physically dependent on marijuana. It is possible to become psychologically addicted to it, as it is possible to become psychologically addicted to just about any consumable substance. It is also IMPOSSIBLE to overdose on weed (I assume this is what you meant by "the small stuff"?).
I actually fibbed in an earlier post becomes I didn't feel like divulging too much of my personal life to a fuckstick like you, but I changed my mind. I have two very good friends who descended very deep into drugs, one of whom with meth, the other with just about every drug you can possibly think of and then some. The latter ended up having a moderate mental breakdown and had to take several prescription drugs every day to keep his mind afloat (he showed me all the stuff he had to take; it was literally a gallon-size Ziploc bag full of pill bottles). And do you want to know what happened to both of them? They both cleaned up their fucking act, and now they're both sober and perfectly fine. The latter weened himself off of his prescription meds; he feels better than he has in four years and he is no longer overweight. What I'm getting at is that even though people can and do get addicted, part of it also has to do with willpower, and those that have an addiction can quit if that is what they really want, if they truly want to give up whatever desirable effects the drug provides them if it is ruining their lives.
