it absolutely is addictive, take it from someone who is addicted to it. i have cut down my use of it a lot, but as soon as i get bored or find i have nothing to occupy my mind/time, my thoughts immediately drift back to weed.
its not that it has withdrawal symptoms, because it doesn’t, other than perhaps making you easily irritated. its more that you miss the enjoyment of it. its good for blocking things out if you have problems in your life or things troubling your mind, and i realised that that was why i used it so much. that’s the real addictive part, nothing to do with the actual plant itself, more the addiction to being able to ignore problems in a lovely haze.
in the end i came to the realisation that blocking problems out with weed does not solve them, it only makes them worse when you aren’t high.
smoking once in a while will do you no harm, its when it gets frequent that things get bad. but that’s the same as any other drug or most enjoyable things in life really, moderation.

PS. the people who claim it is either not addictive or completely harmless are kidding themselves because they enjoy it so much, or they are just stupid.

Yeah, i smoke every day and i only believe i am “addicted” because i mix it with Tobacco, if i dont have some ill want some, that isnt addicted because there is no needy crave.

Good article.
I do believe Marijuana is only mentally addictive, and that’s what research showed too, that however doesn’t mean it is NOT addictive.
Also next time try to make you article a bit bigger, there’s much more to say.
