I used to spend more on weed than food monthly but now I spend way more on food per month.

Are the munchies not a universal thing with weed, then?

I just finished off a bag of mini kit-kats "Eh, just 3 more" at a time.

I'm addicted to water. If I don't drink enough I have strong headaches and feel awful and tired.

I mean, after three days of not eating I start to get light headed, weak, and irritated. Two weeks, and I'd be near death. So I guess,it is an addiction

Vegans tend to argue cheese addiction via casomorphins. I don't believe its scientific consensus at all this point but I personally believe it's addictive. It was easily the most difficult to rid out my diet.

Can we please stop using the word addiction? No one in online discussion agrees on what it means, so it always ends with angry people screaming past each other.

Literally anything can be addictive.

Imagine being a scientist and not being intelligent enough to come up with a new theory to prove.

Edit It's easy to understand the confusion of the person below me. They don't realize that headlines shouldn't just be clickbait that misleads readers. That's poor science and poor journalism.
