Weed is the most addictive thing I've ever done. With alcohol I've been tempted to drink several days in a row, but not all day every day. With pot, there can be a tendency to smoke from the time you get up to the time you go to bed. I have a (former) friend whose life has pretty much disappeared behind a cloud of smoke. It's a sad thing to see. Personally, I'm glad I quit.

Seriously? If your addicted you will have physical symptoms. It's habit forming, like fast food.

I posted the fucking definition of "addicted" on the first page.
And yet we still have 6 pages of this?

That definition was pretty vague. Although, frankly, most are which is part of the reason there is 6 pages on this.

So then, what if you can easily stop (not fulfilling definition 1), but have well-defined physiological symptoms?
What if you have 3 but not 1?
What if you have #1 tuesday, but not Wednesday? What if you have both, but a year apart? Sounds pretty vague to me. What is meant by "Well-defined" physiological symptoms?
DSM-IV presents, actual clinical criteria for a diagnosis (although their interpretation are vague). It's what actually used by physicians. Its at least a starting point for discussion.

Addictive or not, I think it is severely under discussed (the problem of heavy weed users quitting). The disrupted REM cycles can cause some severe nightmares and terrible sleep quality once alter by heavy use of weed. I see it in my brother when we go on vacations via airplane where he can't bring weed.

Would you suck dick for weed? No.

Cravings are gotten but it's not the end of the world type stuff,just hungry for a nice joint.

I'm not trying to offend mate, I just think the term "addiction" is used too loosely. I don't doubt it's very hard for some people to stop a long time habit. I also am not downplaying your difficulty, it just would seam more appropriate to specify this as mental dependence.
Drugs that cause a physical reaction after prolonged use when quitting should be called addictive.
Cannabis is habit forming but u won't have physical withdrawals. You get used to the sensation and chemical change so once stopped, some people have sleep issues and emotional changes. Any physical problems/issues one has from quiting cannabis is psychosomatic.
Again, not being rude. I just think that I used to smoke every day since I was 17 and quite at 19 with no problem other than difficulty sleeping which I already had before I smoked weed, but everyone's different.

So crack isn't addicting because there are no physical withdrawals..... You folks that don't think marijuana is addicting need to rethink your argument.
