I do not, nor am I against it. I've held a bag in high school just to see how it looked like, that was pretty much it. I believe Marijuana is safer overall than Alcohol, not saying any of them should be banned.
 
No, I do not smoke it and I do not support the legalization of marijuana.

The premise that "I didn't become addicted therefore it's not addictive" makes as much sense as saying "I've never been struck by lightning therefore people don't get struck by lightning". I witnessed my best friend go through pot withdrawals.

No you didn't. Nothing but psychological, if anything. Cannabis is not physically addictive. I used it nearly every single day in my youth for years, quit on a dime and had 0 physical withdrawals. Quitting nicotine is 1000% times harder because there are actual physical withdrawals. As for the OP, I am in full support of it and I do use it now and again.

Oh good. You knew my best friend from 25 years ago? So you can speak for him? That you have the gall to try and "correct" this shows the weakness of your pothead character. At least you didn't waste time showing who you really are.
Your single personal experience does not mean it can't happen to another. Get off the pot and learn to think again. That smoke is clouding your thinking.

If you quit, then how come you still use “now and again”. If I quit doing something, that means I no longer do it at all. For example, if I quit eating meat and become vegan, I am not actually vegan if I eat a hamburger “now and again”. Other vegans would very correctly say “You did not actually quit eating meat since you eat it now and again”.

Logic 101.

Nope, didn't know him, and nope, don't need to. Nicotine, alcohol(for serious habitual abusers) and opiate products (like heroin) all exhibit withdrawal symptoms when a person addicted to them stops that can be attested to across the human experience, in a plethora of scientific literature and in the case of the latter 2, can actually be dangerous and cause death. Cannabis doesn't. I could site a study for you but I know it from my own personal experience. "Pothead character". That made me smile. I'm not sure there is even an urban dictionary definition for that it's so incredibly vague, and the irony of that is it was uttered by someone who assumes his thinking is clear just because he doesn't use it.

Quit in my youth. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 18-20. I didn't jot down the exact date, but that's when I quit. Started again on an occasional basis almost 2 decades later. No different "logic" (as you have framed it) than saying a person quit cigarettes for a couple of years then started again. Would you site logic to say they didn't actually quit for those 2 years? It would seem illogical to do that when they clarified what they meant, as I have done now.

I would not say “I quit eating meat.” And then say “I eat it now and again” I would say, I became a vegan for a while, but I am not a vegan, now. In your case, you were sober for two years, but now use.

No, read again. Almost 2 decades. The nicotine user was 2 years, that was an example. My real experience was nearer to 2 decades for quitting pot. There is no misstatement as you originally contended now that I have clarified in the last post and corrected your misreading of it here.
 
I used to smoke it, but don't any more. THC(tetrahydrocannabinol)is the main ingredient that gets the user high. CBD(cannabidiol)is the main ingredient that has the most medicinal uses, and does not get the user high.
