"But it's impossible to be addicted to weed."

- People who don't realize you can be addicted to literally anything.

I knew a guy who was addicted to ibuprofen. He wasn't even taking it for pain.

I don't smoke anymore, but back when I was working as a line cook I used to smoke like a chimney. I'm real happy I stopped, my sleep took a while to get better but now it's way more restful then when I smoked. Weed is chill in moderation, not if it's your only way to relax after a long day of too many hours under high pressure.

Still get a bit of a craving every now and then, but I think it's just when I'm bored.

16 year old me was addicted to one part of my own body. Escapism is a helluva drug.
