Psychologically we tend to pursue what we learn from childhood, to establish ourselves in a profession that returns money. Using marijuana makes you forget your most cherished profession or zeal in life. Basically it makes you less attached to reality as the user experiences all his wishes by imagination(The trip). Hence the term stoned. They may appear stoned(idle) but is enjoyin the emotions of being famous or driving a fast car or having intercourse more vividly than when your normal n this is what makes the user psychologically different from a non user. He reacts to a world in his mind that others do not comprehend hence is always lost. The user may appear watchin tv or even driving but you can never imagine what the user is tripping on unless you try it.

As far as I know, they are the only drugs that are physically addictive. Amphetamines, methamphetamines and cocaine are extremely psychologically addictive, as well as chemically addictive, but not physically addictive. Ecstasy also has a fairly high potential for psychological and chemical addiction, but it is not as addictive as speed, meth, or coke. Hallucinogens (LSD, marijuana, salvia, peyote, mescaline) are neither chemically addictive nor physically addictive. They can be psychologically addictive, though.
The arguments for marijuana being physically addictive are very weak at best. The more probable explanation is that people can become psychologically addicted and think they need it. Unlike physical addiction, marijuana has no "come down" or withdrawal symptoms.

Because they are addicted to it. Marijuana isn't physically addictive, or chemically addictive, but it can be psychologically addictive. People who use it every day become accustomed to the way they feel on it, so they actually feel weird and abnormal when they stop taking it. Basically it becomes a crutch that they lean on, and sometimes they need help to quit, just like with any other drug.
