Weed not being addictive is a myth

After reading a lot of posts on this forum, I've noticed that a lot of you seem to have the false idea in your head that weed isn't addictive. I don't know if you've been lied to or are just kidding yourselves. It's been proven scientifically and by my own experience that it's both physically and psychologically addictive.

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.

ur stupid man those are just symptoms in your head that you can easily overcome while other drugs you HAVE to have them or you will get sick. i smoke every day then i take breaks sometimes and i dont feel anything wrong, id just like to get high thats all

Not at all. I think about smoking weed, but I haven't smoked in a week.

dude, there's no chemical compound in weed to make it physically addictive... there is no phyical withdrawl, it doesn't put any chemical in your body that your body becomes dependant upon.. and i'm actually betting you can't find these articles and that prove it physically addictive...

it can be, however psychologically addictive, and i am a victim of that... anything can be psychologically addictive... all the way down to water.. because it's psychological.... the brain makes alot of things possible... and things that create euphoria or pleasure, actually have a high rate of becoming psychologically addictive person to person..

i still will wait for you to show me any scientific article (and none of this government funded crap....) that shows how weed is physically addictive... until then, don't get the conclusion in your head that just because you can't say no, that it's phsyically addictive..

mentally addictive... not phyically addictive.. it has some addictiveness to it.. if you smoke tabbaco ud see what real addiction is

I'm looking for the study now, sorting through the government's bullshit.
