You can grow up.
Most people eventually grow out of pot. I know many that smoke into their adult years, but later quit at around 30ish.
Its not even that good of a drug, if you are going to be addicted to something, pick something euphoric like opiates, or something productive like amphetamine.

For real, get a grip. To get help, you stop smoking so much pot. Get it down to once a day, at night, before you go to bed. Relax and read a book. Then, just stop. Its not hard dude.

For people who get addicted to weed, smoking once a day isn't an option; if you've got weed, you're gonna smoke it. Cold turkey is the only way. The first few days suck nuts, but you get past it.

That's an awesome idea. Advising someone who is struggling with pot, to take at opiates 
There's a quitting weed FAQ if you use the 'search' on shroomery

But opiates are sooo much fun... 
Find something else to occupy your time instead of getting high, just keep your mind off of it for a few days and in no time you won't even worry about it.

If you're going to be addicted to something, you might as well start shooting junk and get addicted to a real drug.
Addicted to cannabis, LOL.

That might be true for some people, but not everyone. Not being able to eat without puking, or sleep more than a couple hours a night for days after quitting = physical addiction (at least in my book)

i go thru the same BS, i take it as just being a stoner. i have never had an appetite in the morning, so i usually go a few hours before eating anyway, the insomnia can be worked with by not going to bed high as hell. quitting smoking weed is easy, just need to keep yourself busy where your not thinking about it all the time.

IMO a large percentage maybe 70% of people who smoke pot on a regular basis, are doing so to self medicate themselves, not just for a buzz.
weed has many beneficial effects, and therefore is used by many different people for many different reasons.
i use weed to:
increase my lack of appetite alleviate my very persistent insomnia nullify anxiety nullify depression alleviate some types of pain (especially when used with alcohol)
when i cannot smoke weed im miserable, not because im craving weed, but because i have problems that are no longer being treated...
and then of course there is the social aspects of it... it is very easy to make new friends and/or have tons of fun with your present friends when your packing some mean greens. after quitting it can be frustrating to interact with people, because you no longer have the common ground of smoking weed.
if you like weed, smoke it! unless you have a good reason to quit (UA tests for gov/job) i don't see why you should quit simply because you feel addicted...
weed is very easy to quit, usually only mentally craving it for perhaps 3 days. the only long term affect i noticed, was that it takes almost a year to get back to normal sleeping and eating routines, as both were formerly sooo affected by the usage of weed.

i think "feeling addicted" is a good reason to quit anything.
especially drugs
