10% of people get addicted.  ish.  Does it really count as addiction though?  Much shorter and less serious withdrawals.

(If i remember right, on average, 15% of people get addicted to illegal drugs on the first time -harder stuff that marijuana-)

I mean, yeah, it's a drug. It has a potential for addiction. It's nothing like heroin that addicts on single use with serious concequences, but it's an addiction to a drug nonetheless, so of course it's possible.

So is getting addicted to coffee/energy drinks/chocolate (caffeine), sex/porn (dopamine), and jumping off of cliffs (adrenaline). It does happen, and I've known at least one person addicted to any of these things, to a point where it impacted their life severely.

Yes, different people have different opinions and views. You speak as though we are one hive mind, you confuse me.

I certainly hope you don't consider my reply as "giving hate," Taysby :( I certainly didn't mean to be if I came off that way, and apologize if so - was just tossing in my views on the matter
