    I tried to snort a line of weed once, almost died. It got into my trachea and I started choking. I should have known marijuana was deadly!

    The CDC’s post:

    Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.2

    The citation:

      It’s worth noting that cannabis was the least addictive of the substances analyzed in this study, almost a third as likely as alchohol:

      The cumulative probability estimate of transition to dependence was 67.5% for nicotine users, 22.7% for alcohol users, 20.9% for cocaine users, and 8.9% for cannabis users.

      CDC rounding 8.9% up to 10% seems a bit suspicious to me

    I’ve unknowingly injected some wild ass noids in my time. Not fun, super dangerous. The real bad time, I luckily got warned before hand. Ended up copping something else cause there were ambulances everywhere and people freaking out all over the street, so yea, something told me not to. Whew.
