its not ur body that wants it, so technically its not addictive, but in ur mind, u may have grown accustom to it, and that's what's causing ur cravings..

Meh, like the poster above me said, it's not physically addicting. I'm nearly a daily toker now, but I've been job hopping a lot recently in the past year so I've had a few dry spells where I've been wishing I had weed. Wouldn't call it a "craving" though.

You probably just enjoy getting high like the rest of us. And want to more often. It's not necessarily a bad thing or something to be worried about.

Addiction is addiction. It may not be 'physical' because there are no outward symptoms, but there are still chemical changes occuring in the body that are driving those signals. Whether you puke, get the shakes, or just get irritable...addiction is addiction.

To the OPs question, the answer is what you make it. If you think of nothing but your craving and disregard everything to sastify it, you're addicted. If you can control and ignore your cravings, you're human.

I think quite alot of people who smoke cannabis end up being 'addicted' to it.
If your worried, smoke loads less.

Just dont do it in a habitual manner, like at a certain time every day or always with a specific friend. I used to only do it once in a week with a buddy or something but once I started doing it each night at 11 I kept it up daily

Yes you are addicted :D.

[Mr. TBAGU 420]

I really don't think you are addicted. Marijuana isn't addictive.. it's mentally addictive but that's it. You like the feeling of getting high and want it more often so you can experience it more and more. I can go up to like 3-4 months without smoking it if i'm dry and have no way of getting it. That rarely happens though. When i have weed i usually smoke it like everyday till it's eventually gone. When i'm dry, i don't smoke it for quite a while. Don't be worried.. you aren't addicted, you just like the feeling of mary jane. :thumbsup:

You two do realize your posts contradicted themselves...marijuana is not addictive...it's just mentally addictive. Marijuana is not addictive...your body is just craving something..

I'm addicted to fighting boredom, put it that way.

"man i just did it like 3 weeks ago chill out"

Are you only allowed to smoke every 3 weeks? This confuses me...

Well, i havent smoked for 3 months(Probation), but i smoked everyday for a good 2 years or so, and I just cant imagine ever thinking that.

But, to the point!

Dont worry about it, weed isnt gonna hurt you in anyway. Its just a fun thing to do :P

Mentally addicted or not, it really shouldnt matter.

Well, i hoped that helped at least a little.

get addicted to coke, or smoke weed on the regular, its not addictive, maybe smoke ciggarettes then you will know a true addiction...everyone says that people that do bad things with weed or people that do bad things when they are high, but I totally disagree, you my friend are the type of person that gives weed a bad name....*tsk tsk* you are a disgrace to being a pot head

[dejayou30]

Your body is only craving something it will greatly benefit from! If you crave it, smoke more!

i love weed, but one; your body doesn't crave weed, and two; i wouldn't say cannabis "greatly benefits" the body. there are positives and negatives, but it is still a mind altering substance and you are still inhaling smoke and chemicals into your lungs, which does the opposite of benefitting your body.

oh and a three week break between smoking and now you think you're addicted? not likely.
