minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·11 months agoGambling absolutely triggers the brain’s reward system. You have not provided a shred of evidence that cannabis is physically addictive. No medical studies whatsoever.

minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·11 months agoBeing ‘pretty sure’ is not scientific evidence. You have none.
minus-squarediprount_tomato@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·11 months agoI’ve literally linked you a source that says THC messes with the reward system
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·11 months agoYes. And that is not the same as physical addiction. I already told you that. Your source does not prove your claim. I don’t think you even read it. You do not go into withdrawal if you stop using cannabis even if you have used it for 20 years. If it was physically addictive, you would. It is simply not physically addictive. I don’t know why it has to be physically addictive for you to have a problem with it, but it still isn’t.
