There are newer studies showing weed is physically addictive. It is most definitively psychologically so.
The belief "weed is safe" is bullshit. In groups I can spot those that smoked weed on a regular basis faster than I can 99% of other drug users (the only 1% would be those in true alcohol or opioid detoxification).
It slows reflexes and creates a split second delay in cognitive thinking. Both of which after time become permanent. (Hence the name "burnout"). It also kills motivation and destroys memory short term and long term.
For anyone to say weed is "a safe drug", they truly are either a smoker or are going by what friends have told them.
But then again, noone wants to hear a lecture on the truth, so people will believe what they wish to believe. There will be those that argue, but the there are simple tests to see if there is truth in which I speak.....
1) can they put it down for a length of time, without any cravings or change in personality?
2) look at how they act, their memory, reflexes, thought processes, motivation, etc and compare them to before the person smoked or just compare them to when first meeting the person and watch...... because those aspects once they start going they are gone with continued use and depending on the use and the damage, those functions may never come back. Those functions will always be less than what they were before the person smoked.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
