My point on the sugar though is it certainly does create addiction. It's in so many things even products like jerky. I know lots of other things get broken down into sugar which is also the point. We would do far better without all the added sugar. It's what creates future diabetics in the first place. There is so much fake healthy foods it's ridiculous. Like...Wheat bread!? All sugar, better off with white if your gonna bother with bread. You're body should be running off fat not sugar. People on keto for example can lower their cholesterol immensely vs the doctor recommend way. I'm just having trouble concerning the different between chemical ladden cigarettes vs shit that is available in stores. Now the one thing that I see a negative for weed is that it is a stimulant. Increases in heart rates could be an issue in older folks, for a potentially greater risk of heart attacks.

Not sure I'd agree with any study saying it is physically addictive, habitually I'd agree. So you're willing to ignore science... that's sounds like a river in Egypt to me mate.

Habit forming and addictive mean the same thing in medical terms. Cannabis has observed withdrawal symptoms like sleeplessness, appetite changes, and nausea that classify it as physically addictive. You're ignoring these because it dosen't suit your narrative and beliefs.

My point on the sugar though is it certainly does create addiction. I agree with this provided your talking about refined sugars. The point is though it's not a drug. Sugars are a natural part of the human diet. They literally make up your DNA. Refined sugars are not natural though.
