Is cannabis adictive?

Leafhead comments on Aug 27, 2018:

I have had times of abstinence (job, etc) and suffered from insomnia and weird dreams for about three weeks. At any rate, quitting Cannabis is nothing like quitting cigarettes, whose withdrawals can last month's and even years. And quitting alcohol cold turkey can kill you. All in all, Cannabis is mildly addictive

Last year's tropical milkweed cuttings have grown well but some pruning was recently in order.

Leafhead comments on Aug 11, 2018:

Tropical Milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) is a no-no in temperate areas. It is best to keep with native species to your region. The reasons are A. Tropical does not harden off in midsummer in preparation. It keeps growing continually til frost. Any Monarchs still in the region are liable to lay eggs too late in the season on this nonnative. B. This plant is a suspected host to OE, an obnoxious protozoa that causes gross deformity in adults. C. Plants grown outside their realms ("annuals") generally suck as host plants or nectar sources anyway and are generally ignored for the most part. Tropical Milkweed likes it HOT and HUMID. I find it performs poorly in the MW, except for on hot summers
