Reply To: My 19 y/o son dropped out of college and now his only "goal" is to be waiter.

It is a scientific fact that a small percentage of people who injest marijuana become addicted to THC. I know because I am one of them, and because my family doctor and therapist confirmed this. There are Marijuana Anonymous groups for a reason. In my twenties I used it to cope after the loss of a parent and found that I could not stop, even though I wanted to and tried many times. I still crave it almost every day, and cannot have even a small toke socially or I risk falling back down the rabbit hole.

The vast majority of people who use it will not become addicted, but please don’t minimize the struggles of people who do by claiming marijuana addiction doesn’t exist.
