Marijuana has no addictive potential. Don't be taken in by propaganda. Some people may have a tendency to become psychologically dependent on substances like marijuana, but many prescription and over the counter drugs have a true addictive potential, so why pick on pot? Moreover, people who use cannabis to relieve stress are not "abusers". Sure, there are people who abuse pot, but just a little now and then is not pot abuse any more than a glass of wine is alcohol abuse. Addictive potential? Marijuana has no addictive potential.

It is now known that these substances exert several of their pharmacological actions by activating specific cell membrane receptors, the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptor subtypes. This knowledge led to the design of synthetic cannabinoid agonists and antagonists with high therapeutic potential. The recent discovery of the endocannabinoids, i.e. endogenous metabolites capable of activating the cannabinoid receptors, and the understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to their biosynthesis and inactivation, opened a new era in research on the pharmaceutical applications of cannabinoids.

Some are so harmful to our systems....drugs, alcohol, overeating...even some might say excessive tv watching, movie going, isn't that great, but sure is a fun stress relief! I'd suggest another addition to the list...something that is actually good for you as it relieves stress....hypnotherapy and guided meditations. It's truly amazing what we are capable of doing to help heal ourselves from within the subconscience mind. Give a free session a try to see if it will help you relieve stress at http://www.hypno-freedom.com.
