Why do so many people claim that weed is non-addictive? 2

I feel like I'm addicted to it Say I have a random stash of drugs (including all recreational classes) I can abstain from anything in the stash apart from the weedz. I'd compulsively smoke it as soon as I wake up. Everything else will be in place for months but the weed will disappear in several days. I won't feel particularly shitty after heavy use, maybe feel a bit less hungry and agitated but thats all.
But if I happen to see a picture of a rolled joint
or just smell them budz I'd find it very hard not to smoke some provided there's any available.
I'm not complaining or anything, its not a problem most of the times but I've heard so many times people saying that weed is non-addictive. The most hardcore users I know would get offended if I tell them they're addicted, but if they go without weed for a whole fucking day then they wont stop complaining about it

Because they mean physically addictive. You don't go into withdrawal like heroin if you cease use.

I do believe theres a 200 page thread on this in the psychedelic forum, or ODD. Either way shits addictive, I know I will smoke my stash compulsively till its gone then Ill scrap my pieces and raid the hidden stash of the stash I had and Snoop around the house looking for the stash's I hid when I was so fucking blitzed I knew I wouldnt remember hiding them, but when I know its good as gone the craving disappears.

I'm getting a job very soon...As soon as I think I can pass a drug test. I've gone from smoking every day to not smoking for a good while with no problem, several times. I admit there are times I would like some weed, but I don't think it is hard not to smoke.
I'll admit, I probably drink instead, haha.

Because it's not addictive. A person can become addicted to just about anything: the internet, chocolate, carbs, WoW, smelling their own farts. With prolonged habitual use a person can develop psychological dependency on all sorts of things. But it's misleading to classify those things as addictive.

Addiction- The fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity
Weed, addictive. Saying its not, Lies. Now STFU and smoke some weed

you're right about one thing though, internet (by which I mean shroomery) is addictive
But comparing weed addiction to chocolate addiction...

Cause weed is just some "background shit". You can smoke it and continue to function and get shit done. If I were to wake up and hit some lsd, I doubt I'd be doing the washing.
It enhances living (arguably) but you get into the habit of smoking daily because its something to do/entertainment. Then when you quit, you find it hard to have fun when you arnt stoned. I dunno, I can see how people can argue both ways. I can smoke heavily for a month, clear out my stash and then abstain for a month. You just have to figure out what you did for fun before you smoked weed 24/7

Nothing. I used to feel shitty about life And then I found out about drugs and thangs
The thing is I have to smoke heavily before it gets a minor background shit. The other day I smoked 1/4th of 150mg chunk of skunk#1 and couldnt get shit done for 6 hours. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the herb but it messes up with my clear thinking.

I think it has something to do with the fact that you can stop whenever you want and there's no withdrawal symptoms. Not everyone is an all day every day smoker you know. As mentioned above, anything you enjoy can become a habit but a habit is not an addiction. I'm more "addicted" to the internet than marijuana by far. I know I'm not going to have money for weed for a week or two and that's fine with me.

I would smoke all day on week ends. If i have weed. The good thing is that it only takes a pea sized nug to get me Deeply Spaced for about 4 hours... If you think it will affect your health having this "addiction* (habbit) Eat the damn stuff, Im sure weed is 100% healthy when eaten
