>>24670I was trying to explain the difference between physical psychological addiction, as the person I was responding to said weed was more addictive than heroin. Which is assinine.
I don't quite get the tesla v harley thing (seems you're actually agreeing with me...?), but as for me being an aDdiCt, doing something consistently and enjoying it isn't "addiction." If you ate pizza 4-7x a week for decades, where it was a ritual and part of your life, and you suddenly couldn't, you would miss it. Deeply. But you wouldn't wind up in the hospital or die like someone physically addicted to opioids — or alcohol for that matter. Same goes for weed.
Also, you can be addicted to heroin for more than 35 years. I personally know an addict with a longer track record (npi), a successful artist with some family money. I will agree it's not typical, but heroin itself won't kill you. Most junkies die from OD or lifestyle. They get their shit from random sources where the strength or purity is suspect, or they get desperate because they run out of money and buy bad stuff, use dirty needles, wind up homeless, or die of malnutrition. As always, it depends on the individual circumstances.
