Pot is my drug of choice. I spent a few weeks in the "emerald triangle" - Humboldt & Mendocino with a grower. Pot was the hardest drug i have ever quit. It was by far harder than cigarettes, alcohol even coke. Physically addictive psychologically whatever, it took over a year to get thru the anxiety of not having a bag. When i quit i was spending more a month on pot than my mortgage. I can't moderate and that's most defined by weed. For non addicts go for it because it's better all around than big pharma.
