Not like cigs, heroin, coke and meth.
Cannabis smokers can just stop. And that would be the end of it. They may feel like they want it, but they wouldnt NEED it.
So really i dont think of it as being addictive. Maybe habbit forming at the most.
To add to what lip said. Cannabis is as addictive as tv, music, popcorn, sex, porn, etc.
You have proven nothing... and not exactly sure what your point is.
The reason people say that here is because they have never been addicted to it... the thing about psychological addiction is not everyone is affected.

Word!
I love my fresh filtered organic coffee, to be honest I think I'm a little too fond of the weed and coffee combo :stoned:

When quitting smoking after I've been smoking daily I have insomnia, loss of appetite, and irritability for a couple of days. The insomnia often lasts much longer.
Of course this is nothing when compared with withdrawals from other substances, but this doesn't mean that weed isn't addictive.
If you would like me to find the research I can, but you all should know how to use google.
if it's addictive then how do u explain me stopping in just one day and not smoking again for 6 months so far eh?
also with no side effects.

When I stop eating popcorn I don't have trouble sleeping. Or yell at my gf for stupid reasons. Or feel anxious for no reason.

Because as I stated it's a pretty weak addiction.

If you yell at your girl and feel axious because you havnt got weed you must be the only person on this site to do that.
Pretty sad really isnt it.
Oh well.
Still, it's not addictive.
You cant base a statement on your OWN experiece, everyone is differnt, in this case it seems your the odd one out cos your the only one here that cant just stop.

The study I posted says otherwise. The incident I'm referring to wouldn't have happened if I hadn't quit smoking, I guarantee it.

I'm not only basing it on my own exp. And I never said I couldn't just stop.

I assume it would be possible to become addicted to t.v. or a certain show in that way. I'm sure there are people out there who "have" to see every episode of American Idol when it airs.
Those people should be shot, but that is beside the point.
~cough cough my wife cough~
and BF house is a bad ass show... i have to see everyone too... i even 'have to see' the reruns lol....

I've never had any withdrawl, but cannabis shouldnt make people angry. Or anxious. With it, or without it.
