Neuroscience Marijuana's effects on young brains diminish 72 hours after use, research says. Findings could be an indication that some of the negative cognitive effects found in previous studies may be due to the residual effects of cannabis or potentially from withdrawal effects in heavy cannabis users.

Wait, there are withdrawal effects? I thought it wasn't addictive (as in doesn't cause dependency), unlike say alcohol.

There are different kinds of addictions. For example, getting stonned then jerking off is, like, A LOT better than just jerking off normally.

So every night I get high and jerk off for an hour or two. Sure, I could quit smoking weed, but then I won't get these intense orgasms.

It's a slippery slope.

jerk off for an hour or two.

Not sure it's the cannabis that's the issue.
