I’m talking about a mental addiction. If you’re used to smoking a bowl every evening, it can be hard to accept when you get home one evening and there’s no weed. It’s personal, it depends on other factors, but there is an increase in wanting weed once you’ve smoked enough of it. I don’t know why you think I’m basing this on local pothead stories. As for functioning normally while high all the time, this doesn’t work for me, and I suspect it doesn’t for many people. I find it easily noticeable when someone is high a lot of the time. I’m not taking any stance on legalisation here, btw.
