Is Marijuana Addiction Real? Yes, but...

Marijuana addiction is real, and I'm tired that no one is talking about this!

Let me explain myself. I am tired that no one is talking correctly about marijuana addiction. There are countless bad takes available from both sides of the issue, and it's my mission to cut through the carp to find the truth.

The anti-cannabis lobby and Federal Government would have you believe that a single toke of wacky tobacky will drive you permanently insane, lead you to inject heroin and ruin your life. On the other hand, the pro-pot party disagrees, stating that not only is pot harmless, but it is also a panacea for any ailment from glaucoma to cancer.

Who are you supposed to trust? It's clear that the scare campaigns are inaccurate; if pot made you mad, the entire state of Colorado would be an open-air mental institution by now (maybe it is, please tell me, Coloradans). However, you might also be skeptical that marijuana is totally harmless, and for good reason; there are few hobbies that people center their entire personalities around, and pot subculture is one.

In this video, I defend the argument that cannabis use disorder is a real medical condition and walk you through how to recognize the difference between casual cannabis use and marijuana addiction. Sit down, grab a snack, and remember to like and subscribe!
