Regardless if you can't stop smoking pot as if your life depended on it then you most certainly have a problem. I realized I was psychologically addicted to pot when I actually risked my entire education by attempting to cheat on a drug test for college and at first it didn't even phase me but the second I almost got caught it shook me up so badly that I finally realized what I had done. Pot is fun and relatively harmless in retrospect to the entire selection of drugs but when you put anything whether its caffine, pot, heroine, Women, video games, etc first before what is really more important to you then I would say you have a problem. Sure its more harmful for someone to be addicted to booze but the tragedy of sucumming to something and placing everything else behind it is the same.
:thumbsup: very nice.

if u feel u get stuck into obsession-like relationships with things u like, u should really setup a system for your brain and have control over your obsessions. and for this very reason, many people CANT and WONT go without weed even for a day

its the addictive (obsessive) behavior thats the main problem of humanity in regards to drugs. all drugs can be taken care of in rehab, but u see many people return to doing them!!!

i think the whole concept of war on drugs should funnel all the money and effort to find ways to fix this issue instead of limiting the supply (not that they do it good, no, just their declared intent) and jailing the addicts/users.
