No, cannabis is not physically addictive. While some perceive it as a gateway drug, it’s more accurately described as an “off-ramp” drug, providing potential health benefits. Cannabinoids, the compounds in cannabis, are among the safest and do not pose the risks associated with many pharmaceuticals. It’s essential, however, to use cannabis responsibly and mindfully. It’s worth noting that misconceptions and stigmas around cannabis, built over decades, are not an accurate reflection of its properties.
