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

Because there's a difference between "addiction" and "habit"... When you're on the floor in pain having a heroin or crack withdrawal, and selling all of your (and others) belongings that's an "addiction"... People continue to smoke because they enjoy it, not because theyre in pain when they don't have it. Simple as that, weed is not addictive.

the medical establishment defines addiction differently than its supposed to (imo)

we cant debate on weed without a true definition of addiction

Weed IS addictive.

Anyone who denies that is either in denial or misinformed, IMO.

I smoked weed almost every day for 7 years straight. One day I decided weed just wasn't for me anymore and I quit. I literally had no problem quitting. Nothing changed other than the fact that I wasn't high.

That doesn't sound physically addictive to me. Mentally I can agree with,it's 100% possible, but I don't have a weak mind so it wasn't a problem for me.

Weed is not physically addictive. However many patterns of behavior can be addictive.

I usually compare marijuana addiction to gambling addiction. It's not really addictive clinically, but many people still manage to develop problems with it that seriously impact their lives.

If I do something every day for years, chances are I feel a need for it.




Sorry to hear that brah.

I sat in my house for the past 2 years smoking weed endlessly that I grew myself.

It is to the point where I feel as if I NEED marijuana about 5 times a day. I need to get high 5 times a day. The first day stopping maybe a bit harder to get to sleep, the mental aspect was just thinking everything is more lame(less motivation to do things). But thats for day 1. On day two of stopping, withdraw effects do occur. I am extremely irritable. I will rage over the dumbest things like going to turn a light switch off and somehow missing. I also get really gross cold sweats. Randomly my body will just start unloading sweat. Its kind of equal to the perspiration that occurs on mushrooms(if you get that). Its impossible for me to eat anything. Unless I happen to sneak a toke within the days of stopping, I will go a few days without eating a thing. I won't even feel the need to eat. If I try I could take a few small bites but then just give up.


During those days of withdrawal I still do almost all the same things as I did when I was smoking all day.

I see it as a bad habit. I could keep getting high 24/7 and my life would continue the same. I could stop getting high and my life would continue the same.


I was basically smoking about a gram an hour. Very high quality very clean.

People can get mentally "addicted" to anything: TV, Computer, Games, food etc... All I'm saying is all the anti-marijuana propagandists make it sound like if you smoke weed you're going to have painful withdrawals and you won't be able to quit, when that is not the case at all. Anyone that's smoked knows you can quit fairly easily with NO painful withdrawal symptoms.
