When I stop to take a break I admit, I do want it, and do think about it.

However I do not have withdrawal symptoms. I do not get sick or start shaking. I do not get headaches.

So even if science does say one day that it is physically addicting, I know that is complete BS.

Some people are weak willed. That is just the way they are.
They should not smoke pot of drink.

What science says doe not change what I know to be true.

If you cant handle weed- Don't smoke it!

Frankly, I saw nothing in your original post that should be responsible for your being either flamed or banned. You stated a fairly solid hypothesis there.

Thanks in advance for continuing civility here in the event that flaming may yet break out, which I don't anticipate but you never know. I do want to remind the responders that we need to keep the substances discussed in the responses to cannabis only. And subsequent posters, if you see a non-cannabis mention in a response (we've had one that already came mighty close, which I'm choosing to leave alone for now), please don't requote the previous response if there's a chance it may be deleted.

My theory is that, in the hands of people with addictive potential, cannabis, just like graham crackers might be to a compulsive overeater, can easily have addictive potential even if that addiction isn't physical. That's why all the assurances in the world that it's not a gateway drug don't hold water in all cases because, in the hands of someone who's going to be compelled to move through the gate to other substances, it does serve as a gateway. Some folks can handle it and others can't. Same with alcohol. Same with fried chicken. Same with money spending.

sorry babe ;)
