I can't remember the article in detail but what I do remember was a paragraph that explained that a person with an addictive personality was more in danger of anti-depressants than other people because it can cause psychological dependence.
A test was given to a few subjects with an undiagnosed personality, i.e. the users did not know that they had addictive personalities. When the users were 'high', they suffered no depression but when the users came down, depression would increase beyond the normal levels, and remain high for a long period of time after that.

The article concluded that people with undiagnosed personalities could check to see if they had addictive personalites by answering some questions, like:

1. Have you ever used recreational drugs alone?
2. Have you ever used any drugs more than you had to?
3. Do you gamble? Do you find it hard to stop gambling?
4. Do you have a repetitive daily/weekly regime?
5. Do you find it hard to make new friends?
6. Would you describe all your friends' tastes and opinions as similar?
7. Do you get bored easily?
8. Do you enjoy hobbies which are NOT physical in nature?
9. Is it hard for you to 'break a habit'?
10. Do you smoke? (Cigarettes, obviously.)
11. Do you drink alcohol?
12. Would you describe your lifestyle as stressful?
13. Would you say you had a vivid imagination?
14. Do you lose track of things easily?
15. Do you forget things easily?

If you have answered YES to any of these questions, then you may have an addictive personality.
lol looks like half of those would apply to potheads
