Pot IS addictive. Pot was never considered addictive for a long time because of the lack of major withdrawal symptoms as opposed to alcohol. cocaine, heroin etc.

Alot of that data was based on research done in the sixties and the weed was lower grade.

The fact is everyone on this board has "needed weed". That is an addiction. Maybe not a BAD one relatively speaking, but one nonetheless.

You can get psychological addicted to anything and anytime your body gets used to having a particular chemical put in it regularly over time, you can get physically addicted as well.

I stopped smoking recently for four months after smoking about an 1/8 a day for a few years and I definitely had weed-drawal which definitely sucked. Trouble sleeping, irritability etc.

But as substances go, if you are addicted to weed which is what "stoners" are, look at it this way..it's way better than being addicted to practically every other substance that you can get addicted to and if you REALLY had to stop you could with withdrawal symptoms that can be dealt with alot more easily than others.
