On the addiction aspect, the addiction stems from purely psychological, at least in my experience, unlike other drugs like nicotine which is chemical/physical addiction. I've smoked weed and tobacco/vapes, was at one point dependent on weed but was able to quit cold turkey and haven't felt any cravings since.
Nicotine on the other hand is very much a constant battle that I feel like I could relapse at time, just a wiff of second hand smoke is enough to give me very strong withdrawal jitters. Infact, I feel that a heavy contributer of my weed dependency was a transference of my nicotine addiction.
In that sense, targeting mental health issues through therapy and appropriate prescriptions for co-occurring mental health conditions will likely help kick cannabis dependence.

embrace other forms of therapy and medication that is a better long-term option.
Exactly this. For certain disorders cannabis simply won't help and potentially lead to psychological dependence.
For certain disorders like chronic pain, I don't even recommend using THC, instead go for CBD products.
No need to apologize, you're new; I don't expect you to know all the Lemmy localized terminology yet.
If you start at 25 or later when you're brain is fully formed, your IQ won't take a permanent hint unless you're a heavy smoker. It will still effect your memory to some degree tho, but that also goes for alcohol and other drugs.
Using in moderation is key.
The term is Lemmings, btw.
Because :
I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that."

Ofc it's prone to bullshitting, it can't even stay consistent; shit will contradict itself and sight the same sources.
Why do you think trump started peddling Jesus bullshit last time he ran even though he's not even remotely cristian or religious. He'll shill anything as long as he thinks it'll profit him.
The fact people bought NFTs just proves that crypto bros just buy into hype without understanding the technology.
I knew NFTs were bullshit from the start because I actually took the time to understand how they "worked".
That goes for both....
We're discussing Apple's implementation of an OS level AI, it's entirely relevant.
GrapheneOS has technical merit and is completely open source, infact many of the security improvements to Android/AOSP are from GrapheneOS.
I love Olan’s.
Who?
Yeah and apple is completely untrustworthy like any other corporation, my point exactly. Idk about you, but I'll stick to what I can verify the security & privacy of for myself, e.g. Ollama, GrapheneOS, Linux, Coreboot, Libreboot/Canoeboot, etc.
There's multiple studies that suggests that the psychological dependency is bidirectional where as pre-existing mental disorders can lead to cannabis dependency, cannabis dependency can lead to exacerbation of the pre-existing mental disorders, and excessive use can lead to trigging mental disorders you maybe genetically prone too and commonly psychosis. Psychosis has symptoms overlapping with schizophrenia, however you're symptoms seem a bit extreme for Psychosis. Is there perhaps a history of schizophrenia &/or paranoid personality disorder in your family? If you don't know, perhaps consider looking into it.
