Studies on this subject vary, but the majority place the developed dependency rate of marijuana users at between 10 and 30 percent with eventual addiction rates up to 10 percent. The addiction rate is smaller than most of the harder drugs falling in at a little bit less than that of alcohol. Two factors that are not considered in current studies are the continuously growing psychoactive potency of new strains and the increased usage and acceptance facilitated by the legalization movement. While advocates of marijuana use highlight the relatively less addictive nature of marijuana, the fact remains they are promoting a behavior that is just less likely to lead to an addiction, decreased IQ, and long term legal and life issues.
What else can I help you with?
How do you get off cannabis?
Cannabis is not chemically addicting. Any addiction is purely psychological and can be dealt with "cold turkey".
Can cannabis cause crime?
No, Cannabis in itself cannot directly cause crime. Criminals cause crime, whether they use cannabis or not. I do not believe nor have I ever witnessed evidence that even the effects of cannabis use can encourage someone under the influence to commit crime. In fact quite the opposite. Cannabis is renowned for making people want to sit and do nothing at all. Let alone be bothered to go out and commit crime! There have been circumstances that PSYCHOLOGICAL addiction to cannabis could spur someone to commit crime in order to fund their addiction. But then this addiction is simply a psychological addiction. Any physical side effects felt from withdrawal, are simply pseudo, created by the concious mind and not in any way similar to substances such as nicotine, heroine or even long term alcohol use. The best way psychological addiction can be described is. "You only become psychologically addicted, to something you WANT to be psychologically addicted to." Due to the law in most countries using cannabis in itself is a crime. So if there were no cannabis the crime of cannabis use could not be commited. And once again on the other hand if there were no law against cannabis use, then that argument would be negligent. A large majority of money from illegal cannabis sales goes towards organised crime, so once again we've found another side to the dice. But yet another second glance shows that if cannabis wern't illegal it would be readily available, effectively ending a large portion of organised crimes funding. And so once again we see that every side to the dice, has an opposite face if you just take the time to turn it upside down.
Why should cannabis be classed as a class a drug?
There is a lack of evidence to support classifying cannabis as a Class A drug, which typically indicates substances with the highest potential for harm.

All in all though Cannabis is a better way to go than Cigarettes...only problem though is that is is illegal in most of the world.

What are types of addictions of marijuana?
While cannabis is not physically addictive, and can be quite psychologically addictive. Upon curtailing cannabis use, many have reported symptoms that have been referred to as "psychological withdrawal", including depression, irritability, lack of appetite, a general feeling of disinterest, and a struggle to enjoy things that were once highly enjoyable for the individual. However, it is important to understand that "psychological addiction" is in no way limited to drugs; any obsessive behavior can be considered an addiction. In this light it is very easy to interpret heartbreak as acute psychological withdrawal.
