   @drugsguru It’s an aussie number. And yes there is such a thing as marijuana addiction. You can become addicted to almost anything, even tv.
   However the general opinion regarding MJ addiction is that it is relatively easy to develop a social type addiction, but an actual physiological addiction is much much harder to develop and in most cases simply does not develop at all.

   I’m sure more people would pay more attention to your video if you didn’t include a blatant lie.
   “Marijuana addiction is deadly” if you cared to do even the most basic of research you would see that marijuana has attributed to a total of 0 deaths EVER!
   So please explain to me how marijuana addiction is deadly?

   “Athletes could find their performance is off;timing, movements, and coordination are all affected by THC”

   That’s why Michael Phelps only have 16 Olympic Medals.

   I found the CURE for addiction and I have proof for this claim. Click on my name and witness Powerful Stories of Freedom. I personally know and have witnessed over 100 addicts who have found True and Lasting FREEDOM after being enslaved by their addictions for so long. I have been through many programs for my addiction, but have never found so much Hope, Joy, Peace, and Love than I have in the program I am in now. And the people I know who have given their stories are experiencing the same!

   my conclusion from 16 years of indulging and meeting other consummers is this.
   although i have never met anybody that had a bad reaction to cannabis, cannabis may trigger/innitiate episodes in certain teens already predisposed with phsychotic or schizophrenic or other mental issues. but like i`ve said i`ve never seen it 1st hand in 16years of smoking nor has any of my friends.
   i`m not addicted to cannabis i like to smoke it just the same as i like eating cake. am i addicted to cake?

   i don`t go in any kind of withdrawal if i don`t have a smoke for a while (hrs days or even weeks) i am physicly fit and apart from getting older there`s nothing wrong with me in 15 years of indulging heavily in strong NL skunks and uk cheeses, homegrown or from the coffeeshops.

   well i`ve been smoking for over 15 yrs since i was at least 15 i`m 32 this summer and i don`t suffer from any mental problems nor have i a dysfunctional live.
   i smoke pretty much all the time as much as a cigarette smoker would consume. and appart from my lungs taking a beating as they would with tobacco or anything else u would burn and inhale the smoke from.

    @CNSagent you fucking pot heads will never see sense. That fucking article has nothing to do with growth or cell development, it talks primarily about behavioral sensitivity.

    Part (3)
12. CNSagent on November 3, 2011 at 11:22 am said:

    @Jdillafied … Furthermore, an experiment in rats using a published protocol also failed to demonstrate sensitization. It appears that this phenomenon may only occur under very particular conditions, raising doubts about its relevance to chronic cannabis users. At the very least, it can be concluded that the phenomenon appears much less robust…
13. CNSagent on November 3, 2011 at 12:13 pm said:

    @Jdillafied The following qoute originates form an article that reinforces and contradicts your previous comment.
    “In conclusion, these experiments show that mice appear resistant to behavioral sensitization of the locomotor-activating effects of THC. Even after systematic variation of several experimental parameters such as the frequency of THC treatments, exposure to the test apparatus during treatments, and manual vs automatic recording of activity, we failed to detect any sensitization…

    @CNSagent interesting, send me link to the study so i can debunk this one aswell
15. CNSagent on November 3, 2011 at 12:42 pm said:

    @Jdillafied … I can provide study reviews that reinforce, and contradict your last comment. Once again, modulation of the endogenous cannabinoid sytem produces biphasic effects.

    @Jdillafied I’m heavily involved in music, and I’m thoroughly interested in pharmacology, toxicology and pharacokinetics of psychoactive substances. I have always disliked sports. My family is more involved in music.
    There is no history of schizophrenia, psychosis or any othe mental disorders in my family.
    Yes, I am aware that it is very important to preserve the prepubescent and adolescent mind from drugs, however, I started consuming caffeine before I started smoking…

    @CNSagent grow and develop as it should have been. But if you keep smoking until or after the age of 21, you would have missed the best time to let your body develop, and YOU WILL REGRET IT later in life. Right now you are still young, you are full of will and strength, but as you get older your body wont be able to cope with your drug abusing, and it will start to degenerate, you will lose weight, strength and your brain will cease to function properly. and thats just the tip of the iceberg
18. Jdillafied on November 3, 2011 at 1:29 pm said:

    @CNSagent By the way, as i mentioned you may have good genetics and you are still young, hence why you may not have intense paranoia or any mental unstability. However, 8-7 years of smoking is no joke, especially since you started at a very young age, pre-teen and most of your teenage life. Did you know that teenagehood is a very important stage in a persons mental and physical development? Hypothetically if you stopped smoking RIGHT NOW until the age of about 21, you body may be able to

    @CNSagent What are you doing at the moment? studying/ working/still homeschooling? You say your family life is excellent, thats good. Do you have any hobbies? do you play any sports? how often do you read/study? What subjects do you read/study?
20. Jdillafied on November 3, 2011 at 2:11 pm said:

    @CNSagent so you stopped recieving prescribed medication more than thirteen years ago? that means 5 years before you started smoking marijuana, or 6 before you started inhaling. This mean generally speaking you have very good genetics. Also vitamin supplements arent necessary if you eat a healthy diet with plent of veg and protein. Now, how often do you smoke? everyday? if so, how many joints a day? also you mentioned that you are homeschooling, at what age did you start? what age did you stop?
21. CNSagent on November 3, 2011 at 2:12 pm said:

    @Jdillafied … By the way, I do NOT take vitamin supplements, asprin or any OTC medications, and I have NOT been prescribed any medication in over thirteen years, if not more. I do NOT have a “healthy” diet, but I am NOT overweight.

    @Jdillafied I’m eighteen years old. I first started puffing (no inhaling) around age ten. Started inhaling around eleven.

    @CNSagent impressive, so how old are you now and how old were you when you started smoking?
