Heya Hmmm... this is a hard one. I think it is- you get addicted to the effect, the feeling of calmness and the relaxingness of it. But loads of people say you can't. If you take it a lot, then I think there's a good chance you can. But this is all opinion mind you! And, if you're smoking spliffs, you can get addicted to the tobacco you mix in with it.

Maybe there is different oppinions on it because it effecst people in different ways. But, I wouldn't want to find out, cuz I don't want to end up with a drug running my life.

You cannot become physically addicted to marijuana, If you like the way it feels, its very easy to become psycologically addicted to it. Willpower has a lot to do with it too. I smoke chronic every day, however if I need to stop it istn hard for me to do so, for example I sometimes have to take piss tests for school, or for a new job. Im lucky that I have a well paying job that doesnt piss test, but again, no you wont get a physical addiction, and if you do become psycologically addicted its a matter of will power being able to stop and deal with the boredom.

The people above you are right Viper. You get addicted to the high you get, most potheads who usually are lazy, no life having losers get so high that after a while it doesn't doa nything so they have to try and replace it with a worse drug.
Weed is a gate way drug, but the weed itself isn't addicting.

Thats really offensive Indeed, also it is a mass generalization which like most, is not entirely true. That image you portrey of what i do every day is very skewed from reality. Drugs are like anything else, choice and consequence, they just carry a large stigmatism. This is not to say there are no dangers involved, and they are sometimes extreme dangers, but again this is the case with most things.

I disagree (sorry). Most people do weed to calm down, and they could easily stop whenever they wanted if the stress in their life was gone or they were given an alternate source of relief. Perosnally I enjoy the feeling of the smoke in my mouth, but hey.. im weird like that.

this is a topic that has a tendency to become VERY polarized VERY fast. here's what i think. is pot dangerous? NO. in fact, it has been shown to improve the conditions of those with certain heart ailments. in canada, we have even taken the liberty of allowing ppl afflicted with this condition grow their own to satisfy their need. obviously, these ppl differ from "your typical pothead", which in itself is a stereotype created by the media that i wholeheartedly disagree with. onto the topic of stereotyping, let me point out that more ppl in the united states smoke pot than vote. as sad of a reality as this is, it can also be used to point out the fact that many ppl you know and may love, respect, or trust DO use marijuana for its stress-eliminating ability. by the sounds of it, most of you don't intentionally associate yourself with pot-smokers, so keep it in mind the next time you bash marijuana use. we have feelings too, dumbass. i've drifted off topic, allow me to get back on track...is marijuana addictive? in my opinion, it's no more addictive as it is to bite your nails, to stop into the seven eleven on your way home to buy some chips and pop, or to post on forums granted, it's not easy to stop, but i wouldn't label it as an "addiction", just as i wouldn't call it an addiction if i were to lose my internet connection and found myself unable to post on teen vibe
