All this debation over whether or not it is physically addictive is silly.

I'm not addicted to weed, and that's all that matters. If you have any willpower at all then you can resist wanting to do something.

Of course it's physically addictive, guys!

I've tried to quit weed, but I couldn't stop sweating, shaking and tweaking out, I puked everywhere, nearly died, and they took me to rehab.

(The above is 100% genuine home-grown bullshit).

Page two and this thread is already defeated and diffused? Awwww.

LOL oh how wrong you are.

weed and sex are very similar u know, i group them together under "yum". all items under so called "yum" are truly psychologically addictive, this includes weed sex candy and music.
i think the real problem about addiction is the stigma attached to it, yo

i think the reason you have loss of appetite is because when your stoned things taste so much better and food is more appealing. when you havent smoked it just seems bleehhhh

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.

Herb is not addictive, insomnia is not a withdrawl symptom iratiable ness is also not a with drawl symptom. people can die from withdrwal symptoms I have never herd of anyone dieing over insomnia maby being an A-hole, but none of those things. besides those symptoms remind me of chemical posoning not herb mabey you need a better grower

I go through worse withdrawal when I stop masturbating for a few days than when I stop smoking after being chronic.

Holy hell, I just noticed how long this thread is. Kind of silly. You know what I'm addicted to? Air. If I don't get enough air, I start feeling lightheaded and pass out. And this isn't just a once-in-a-while thing, I need to be inhaling air like every minute of the day. It's getting out of control.
