Is weed an addiction

Answer 1

Yes. There are cases of individuals becoming addicted to marijuana, although much of mainstream America will say that this is impossible.

Answerthe person above me is very wrong. addiction is a physical need for something, and theres nothing in pot that makes you need it in a physiological way therefore its not addictive. however, it is very possible to habbitually use weed to the point that you want to do it all the time, but that's a phsycolgical craving, not a physical addiction

Answer 2

It becomes more of a mental addiction after a while, convincing yourself that you need to smoke due to the desperation of wanting to get high. Physically though, as far as I know and have researched there is no additives in Marijuana that cause your body to become dependent on it nor anything that causes physical withdrawals as well. Sure is! Some people may not get additded but a lot of people do. Some people can go insane from it and they can also become physically and emotionally sick. You might be one of those people, you never know!

Answer 3

This is a loaded question. Literally anything could be addictive, psychologically, depending on how you treat said product, and your own mental stability. There are no known studies confirming the addiction of marijuana due to the sole use of it. The experience has been variously defined, and could be anywhere from euphoric, to dibilitating. Yet, the majority of recorded experiences, both profesional and recreational, convey a stimulating enjoyable experience. Marijuana could be very easily connected with addiction when described with the experience in mind, yet, physically, marijuana is no more addictive then water. It all depends on the individual's mindset when partaking in the drug.

Answer 4

Marijuana is not physically addictive (meaning, a round-the-clock user will not suffer physical withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly quit). They won't get sick, the way an alcoholic or a heroin addict gets sick if they suddenly stop using.

However, marijuana can be psychologically addictive: regular users can build up a tolerance to it. They are so accustomed to being on the drug, that they actually feel normal when they are on it, and they feel distinctly abnormal if they stop. They feel as though something is missing from their brain.

Answer 5

In short; you do not get physically addicted, ergo, your body doesn't get addicted, and you feel no pain or stuff like that when you stop using it.

Mentally tho, it can be addictive, such as any other thing that makes you feel good. Like internet for example.

So it isn't addicting in the way hard drugs are, where your body needs the drug to operate "normally", but if you have no self-control your mind can make you addicted to it. :)
