Yes pot is more of a mental issue. But its very hard to actually become an alcoholic (again thats a loose definition but I hope you understand the basic idea of what I am trying to say) It takes more alcohol to become addicted physically or mentally than it takes somebody to become addicted to pot whether physically or mentally. If you think otherwise feel free to say but I doubt you will convince me otherwise based on what I have read and heard in various places. However again alcohols effects are far more pronounced.
