        This is outright propaganda. There is no such thing as "addiction" to marijuana. There are, however, long term impacts in brain chemistry from prolonged frequent use at high strength.

        The surgeon general should address the addictive properties of sugar. Sugar has the same addictive properties as cocaine and pre-disposes children to addiction. If addicted to sugar one is more likely to be addicted to other substances. Sugar also leads to diabetes!

        Funny, BOTH of my daughters smoked it in high school. Don't touch it now & guess what? They're not addicted. Really thought that 'reefer madness' had died. 🙄

        Man, I don’t normally reply to CRAP I read on the Internet.....but this is just funny. I wonder how much you got paid to post this LIE. 🤷🏻‍♀️ when you could be using this platform to actually warn people of REAL dangers, like alcohol. 😡 but hey, I hope the money was worth it! 👍🏼
