Regardless of statistics, In your opinion....

i think im more addicted to the ritual of it all, cutting up smoking bongs, crap like that, i dont think im addicted but i definately dont want to quit, i like it too much.

to put it scientifically, marijuana is not chemically addictive, but you can become reliant on it, which some people believe is the same thing, but its more of a mental thing.

Personally I dont find going without a problem, I just prefer it with .

i think its all about how it affects your life. Its important to notice signs like loosing a job cuz ur always stoned or loosing friends or just becoming generally lazy. but if none of that is happening the theres no problem. addiction is only a problem if it is a problem if that makes sense... i think alcohol is far worse in terms of how it affects people lives that are addicted to it. try staying friends with a full on alcoholic. or try raising a family being one.

if i have no cannabis im not pleased but it is mental and i am still functional. doctors originally gave me xanax it is highly addictive physicaly and mentally and i had seizures detoxing from it. alcohol/bezodiazepanes and barbituetes are the 3 known detoxes that regularly kill people. after dealing with alcohol and xanax withdrawals. my 'weed addiction' is silly i compare it to not having coffee if your a cronic caffeine user your unhappy but physically unaffected. i have friends who stopped anti-depresents cold turkey and were hearing things and hallucinating. i have yet to see lives destroyed by cannabis but ive seen other substances wreck strong people. as an athlete cannabis does not affect my body and i have raced when i was a smoker and when i was not same difference. cannabis users at work are more reliable also no hangovers bar brawls car crashes etc.. i worked at a restraunt all the stoners showed up on time physicaly well and ready for work. the drunks were always un predictable and a general mess. alcohol has killed many of my family members cannabis 0 yet cannabis is illegal go figure must be the$$$$$$$$it always is
