It is not physically addictive. If your life sucks and you use it to cope, you'll be cranky when you stop, same as if you used trash TV to cope but your cable goes out.
You cannot overdose on pot. You can try, and the worst that will happen is that you'll fall asleep. It is not dangerous on its own.
Don't like the schedule 4 distinction? Fine, pick another. But having it set to schedule 1, same as heroin and PCP, is insane and 100% politically motivated.
Weed is actually physically addictive just much less so than other drugs. Heavy users can't sleep or eat, and have bad neausea and GI issues for weeks after quiting. That's literally all physical withdrawal. If you're someone who says oh I smoke and can quit whenever and don't have those problems then I can tell you, you aren't smoking nearly as much weed as some other people lol.
I'm not against weed, I use it all the time, but it is absolutely physically addictive. More so than caffeine.
My dopamine levels get pretty fuckin wonky when I do a month long break after 6+ months.
I see you have meet an ex of mine. Totally useless and unable to do anything after work except watch 3 hours of the same TV shows she grew up with. No, we didn't break up over this. It was mildly annoying not relationship breaking.
It is physically addictive.
Schedule 1 is bullshit but schedule 4 is too lax.. schedule 3 would be the best fit.. also on the topic, benzos should absolutely be ranked higher than 4.
