Ok now show the stat for alcohol!
Also I would consider myself addicted. I use it daily, notice withdrawal symptoms when I abstain (no appetite, nausea, insomnia) but I’m also productive, started my own business 8 months ago and I’m doing well, no one around me has any idea except those I choose to let know lol. I’m high all day no one can tell. Its not like other drugs lol
And nicotine
And caffeine.
And sugar.
I feel attacked in this thread
That’s a symptom of too much caffeine…
I know, I have it.
I tried to snort a line of weed once, almost died. It got into my trachea and I started choking. I should have known marijuana was deadly!
Wait… You don’t prep your grass like that?
I usually inject the marijuanas
I dip a tampon in THC oil and insert it in my anus. Learned it on fox news.
Unfortunately, this is inspired from a real stupid thing some young people did but with alcool. Goes too fast in their bloodstream and some supposedly ended up in a coma.
I have to believe that that’s a myth. Just thinking about it for 2 seconds makes believe that nobody has ever done it. Why? Tampons have to be compressed inside an applicator for insertion. If you leave one inside the tube, it won’t soak up enough liquid to matter. Take it out of the tube and soak it in liquid, well, now it’s a puffed up, soggy mess. Good luck getting that into an orifice.
It is called ‘boofing’ and the number of people that do it is more than 0. Because of how the body absorbs substances that way, people can get a stronger effect than consuming them orally.
Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.2
The citation:

Probability and predictors of transition from first use to dependence on nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, and cocaine: Results of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). Drug and Alcohol Dependence. 2011;115(1-2):120-130
It’s worth noting that cannabis was the least addictive of the substances analyzed in this study, almost a third as likely as alchohol:
The cumulative probability estimate of transition to dependence was 67.5% for nicotine users, 22.7% for alcohol users, 20.9% for cocaine users, and 8.9% for cannabis users.
CDC rounding 8.9% up to 10% seems a bit suspicious to me
