That's like taking paracetamol for a permanent headache. It's effectiveness will wane and over time you'll need stronger and stronger anaesthetics. It's to treat the symptoms rather than the cause.
What exactly do you think causes people anxiety?
any variety of things that you experience in life? are you trying to imply that you know the root cause for every case?

I think part of it for a lot of them is they smoke it with tobacco too so it's just as addictive as regular smoking anyway
You at the demonstrabely false claims competitions:
Jokes aside, I can smoke once a day, once a week or once a month, it doesn't change much, it'd not like your beloved alcohol

It's not chemically addictive. Honestly people should really pointing fingers at smokers. Majority who smoke know the risks. Sugar is far more dangerous yet and they add it to everything. Weed on the other hand can help the majority with far less side effects then prescription pills. I'd take an edible or spray any day. Although it is far more fun to use a bong.
Good meme but honestly when do you see an angry smoker? Even if he breaks his piece, worst that happens is a bummed high.
It is physically addictive. Research has shown this already I am fairly sure. It's not nearly as addictive as some other things like alcohol obviously. Psychological addiction also shouldn't be dismissed.
Sugar is dangerous? Maybe refined sugars are - especially if you're diabetic - but most sugars are actually natural and some form complex carbohydrates and fibres. It's a lot more complex than this hot take. Sometimes even diabetic people need sugar in an emergency condition called hypoglycemia. It's also not in any way a drug; really wish people stopped saying this. Also genetic material is partially made from sugars like ribose and deoxyribose.
There are real life consequences to smoking too much weed and this can include damage to your lungs and can negatively impact the brain. Brain problems is mostly an issue for people under 25 though so smoking after this age is less problematic. That being said it's still much better than some other drugs like you say. Before people ask yes this includes alcohol as alcohol is quite toxic to brain and body when consumed habitually.
Weed can't replace all prescriptions either. It's just not as good at blocking pain as opiates even if it's a lot safer. That being said if it helps you then that's great - especially if it's in edible form or spray form as this is healthier than smoking.

If you're trying to argue weed isn't at least a wee bit addictive, you've clearly never smoked it any actual length of time. I love weed, but let's no kid ourselves lads.
