I agree. I thought pot wasn't supposed to be so addictive that users had the same withdrawal they get from nicotine. I was at a reunion picnic on Labor Day and people in another group had to take a break to go down to their cars to get high. It was a breezy day so our group was swamped with the skunk smell of today's pot. Additionally, I was at an amusement park last year and they have certain areas set aside for smoking. They are little alcoves off the normal walking paths and behind some bushes and trellis. Every time we went past one, all you could smell was skunk. I think we are starting to get into second hand smoke kind of issues. I could care less if people want to get high, I just don't get the need to be constantly high in public.

You don't get the same withdrawal, and your anecdotes do not indicate that it causes any kind of withdrawal, just that some people find nature/amusement parks more enjoyable stoned.

"had to take a break"

more like: "wanted to get high on a nice day out"
