Yes, you can get addicted. Most people don't, but marijuana can be psychologically and even mildly physically addictive. Studies have found that people genetically predisposed toward alcoholism are also more likely to become marijuana addicts.Drugs I would use:
- Coffee
- Tea
- Coca Cola
- Energy Drinks
- Ibuprofen (If needed)
- Paracetamol (If needed)
- Penecillin (If needed)
- Diclofenac/Voltaren (If needed)
- Meclizine/Postafen (If needed)
- Glyserol (If needed)
- Alcohol (I really can't stand alcohol anymore though)
- Hashish/Pot/Mary (I prefer this. Can't get addicted, can't get sick, and can't overdose, unlike on alcohol)
I will use legal and illegal drugs whenever and however I see fit. No one is ever going to tell me what I can and cannot do to my own body.
I've wondered if Se-doms might be more likely to have issues with addiction, but that's just idle speculation.
Well, I would suspect so, since I think the converse is true:
SJ types seem to be less likely to use illegal drugs for sure. In my experience, the most straight-edge people have been SJs who don't even consider using illegal substances a personally viable option. Underage drinking is more common, but still, I see it in much greater numbers with the other temperaments.
I've wondered this myself. I think it's a bit more nuanced than that, in that personalities who score high on Fatalistic and Hedonistic attitudes are more likely to develop addictions, and that Se-doms are more likely have those attitudes.
My guess for most drinking and drug use is probably (E/I)SPs, followed by (E)NTs. Maybe NTs feel more free to experiment with cerebral drugs like pot, LSD, and shrooms, since they place smaller value on obeying authority.

By "can't overdose", I assume you mean can't die from an overdose, which is true. You can overdose, though -- there are negative effects of smoking too much in one sitting, of which the most common are fatigue and anxiety/paranoia.

Just a thought
Also, do you think any specific ethnic culture to be predisposed to a certain type?
i don't agree with this. at least not from what i've seen. i have many SJ, NF, NT, and SP friends who have a dependency on either alcohol or marijuana. i really don't think any one type is prone to it more than another.
Addiction is probably much more a result of higher-level cognitive and biological factors.
Wow, this thread reminds me of a few years ago when I overheard some high school kids talking about how absinthe makes you hallucinate. Yeah, not so much.....That is not called an addiction. That is called a habbit. A bad habbit. By saying that you can get addicted to it, you make it wide open for misinterpretation. An addiction is something you cannot live without. You CAN live without pot, and you WON'T get withdrawals when you stop smoking it (even if you've been smoking it three times a day for a year).
tetrahydrocannabinol has a LD50 of about 1500 lbs. An excessive amount of any chemical can cause overdose, which may or may not lead to death. I would need to smoke 1000 joints in under one minute to get the same effect as 24 hours of consuming what quantity of alcohol? Are you high right now?By overdose I mean you cannot take a lethal dosage. You would have to smoke 1000 joints in under one minute to get the same effect you do in 24 hours of consuming alcohol. However, smoking pot and drinking alcohol at the same time will multiple the effect of both pot and alcohol which will act like an overdose. (Believe me, I've tried, and it's not pretty).
What other medications have you tried for your anxiety disorder?I smoke it to relieve anxiety, before I go to bed at night. And it works.
I smoke once a month, once every two months, (now it's been over 6 months since last time).
If you look up pot fatalities you won't find much but if you look up marijuana/crime you'll find lots of stats detailing the percentage of criminals who are involved in assault, burglary, murder, domestic abuse, etc. (the murder part is mostly along the border and is mostly due to government restrictions on marijuana in both mexico and the united states, although, as far as anyone can tell, some level of violence would continue even if marijuana were legalized in both countries)Go look for "Death by pot" or "Crime on pot," I bet you won't find anything.
Ps. You shouldn't abuse any substance.
So you agree that marijuana addiction is possible. I'd love to see a link to a study documenting evidence of raw potato addiction.you know you can get addicted on eating raw potatoes(or basically anything) if you do it enough. afaik it can even lead on a physical addiction because your body gets so used to eating only certain kind of food.
That's exactly what they are. Let the phrase "too much" be a clue to you of what constitutes an overdose. That's exactly what it means.INTP said:fatigue, anxiety and paranoia arent signs of overdose, its a sign that you smoked too much for your psyche to handle.
That's quite a distinction. I guess you showed me.That is not called an addiction. That is called a habbit. A bad habbit.

I already said this: 'By "can't overdose", I assume you mean can't die from an overdose, which is true.' Your numbers are clearly made up, though. Not all joints have the same amount or potency of THC, and people drink radically different amounts of alcohol at radically different rates over 24 hours. Ideally you would use THC and BAC levels to measure this kind of thing. You're right, though, that it is physically impossible for a human to die directly from an overdose of smoked marijuana.angell_m said:By overdose I mean you cannot take a lethal dosage.

Thanks for the tip, since I've never, ever tried that myself.angell_m said:However, smoking pot and drinking alcohol at the same time will multiple the effect of both pot and alcohol which will act like an overdose. (Believe me, I've tried, and it's not pretty).
