    Because habitual doesn’t mean addictive, I also have a problem with peanut butter cups.

        That’s pretty much a habit, I also get uncomfortable when I have to go out when I always have that day free. Peanut butter cups might not be a good example because the sugar is really bad for humans.

      Personally I thought weed was very addictive, but not in the traditional sense.

      Take coffee for instance. When I stopped drinking coffee I had headaches, was a dick for a few days, but that’s it. Which is pretty easy compared to, say, heroin (so I hear).

      With weed, I didn’t have any of that, but I craved the relaxation it brought. The feeling of not giving a fuck about anything for a few hours was great, and I longed for it. I still long for it sometimes. And I think that’s the dangerous thing about weed being labeled as “non-addictive.”

      Just because you don’t have a physical reaction to abstaining, doesn’t mean the emotional reliance is nothing.

        It’s hard to break habits. I’m not naive though, I know what it feels like, it’s a mind battle.
