No negative health implications is hyperbole.
Although I do agree with you that legalizing it and making money is better than spending money on cops chasing it.
Sorry, I'm seriously not picking on you, its just I made it to this thread late and your posts are the ones standing out.
There very much is a dependency problem. The thing is that the real withdraw doesn't start until after a few days of going without (for chronics) so the concentration in the blood stream dips to the lowest point its been, well, ever since taking up the habit. THEN...
EDIT: Holy crap, atr. I read the whole thread and I could have quoted you a few more times at least! So I was just wondering...how much weed do you smoke and do you smoke everyday? You sound how I've been until very recently. I had no idea how insidious the stuff was until I stopped...or maybe I did and didn't want to admit it to myself.

My brother was in the same boat, actually. 4-5 joints a day, and he started developing severe anxiety and heart palpitations. He had difficulty running his day-to-day life without it at that point. Went to the doctor one night when he thought he was having a heart-attack and they told him he needed to stop with the weed. He finally did, and the anxiety attacks went away.
