  • Let me preface this by saying I fully support the legalization of both medical and recreational use of cannabis. However, people who say you can't experience physical withdrawal symptoms are lying to themselves. I've had to stop smoking for extended periods of time for jobs and drug tests and I've experienced some of the worst night terrors, panic attacks, and irregular heart palpitations during those times. I have no family history of any of these symptoms so it was clearly brought on by the halt in marijuana use.

  • You can only mentally be addicted to it. There is no actual need for it.

  • No. An addiction to say cigarettes actually presents a physical change in the body

  • That doesn't change the form or amount of addiction though. It's just a side effect of the thing they are addicted to

  • Then explain to me how a mental need is the same as a physical need in terms of addiction. Explain to me the chemical process. Or do you believe in god to the extent that this makes no sense to you? Not knocking, just talking.

  • So when people are addicted to meth they don't scratch at their skin because their body is so used to having it in it that it needs it to stay calm, they just want more? Yeah? You are addicted to oxygen. Cut that off, tell me you don't need it.

  • You also don't need oxygen, it's a poison. My point is a physical dependency is one in whic if you don't get your fix physical changes occur. I don't get why that is so hard.

  • No... Other drugs, including drugs like sugar or coffee, trigger withdrawal effects. The withdrawal effects are measured by ones dependency and the drug(s). Weed has no withdrawal effects and therefore not addictive. The act of smoking is psychologically influential, making it habitual, so it can aid feelings of stress and anxiety (like rocking your foot till you fall asleep, sucking your thumb, putting your hands in your pockets, etc), but it's not actually addictive.
