How addictive is marijuana?

People tell me that marijuana is not addictive i would like to get different opinions because maybe its addictive but it takes time

 

depends on the person...

it can be addictive.

 

it can be psychologically addictive, but it is not (to the best of my knowledge) physically addictive. you may want it, but you are not likely to go through withdrawals like even prescription meds. i took percosets for a week after my wisdom teeth removal, and i went into bad withdrawals. fever, shakes, nausea, horrible stuff.
never had that problem with mj

now, if you are looking for someone to tell you exaggerated truths, or flat out lies, you should look to the Dare program.

 

Not physicly but mentaly, But its realy not a big deal expect if you take 3-4 time a day and then stop...thing will seem dull and boring for a few days but that about it. Just be carefull with lady mary-jane and shell reard ya.

 

eh...I think it's definitely physically addictive for some people.

some people not.

 

How addictive is your personality?

 

It's addictive to the point where you get cravings for it when you think about it.

 

It can be addictive depending on how you use it. If you use it to get the munchies, if you toke up before every meal for a while than you'll have some problems eating after you stop. It depends on how you use it. If you use it every time you get depressed, you can end up psychologically addicted. If you're the kind of person who gets addicted to a run of the mill video game for weeks then you can become addicted psychologically again. If you use it once or twice a week just for the occasional recreation, then you'll probably stay fine unless you have a really addictive personality.

It really depends on how you use it.

 

hahaha...yeah when you think about it you want it bad haha ^^^^


no but seriously yeah I have no remarks for whether it is physically addicting or not...i haven't known anyone or read about anyone who has been physically addicted ...I do have personal experiene with a psychological dependence to it. After a year or two of smoking I had to quit for two weeks ( I decided to) in order to pass a drug test...I got kinda depressed after the first day with out it. Granted, at that point in my life I was smokiing on average 10 times a day...so when I lost that perpetual high...shit kinda sucked. I started smoking cigarrettes, I think I also became addicted to inhaling, and still am...i just like that feeling...anyway I didnt make it a week; needless to say I failed the drug test and lost the best job ever. (I was an idiot). Since then I have gone long periods with out it and was perfectly fine (the beginning of the quitting/pausing is always the worst, but it gets better with time

BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON, his/her personailty and chemical make up...

honestly though I wouldnt worry about it too much

 

marijuana is addicting in the same way that video games can be addicting. it just depends on how much willpower you have. if you have an addictive personality, you might become slightly psychologically dependent on it. if you have a lot of willpower, it will never even be a problem.

and even for the people who are addicted to it, it's not that hard to quit. i know plenty of potheads who have quit for weeks or even months, and they had no problem. the only thing that made them come back to it was that pot is fun, not any sort of physical dependence. if something is fun, you will want to do it as much as possible.

 

If you have an addictive personality then yea, it is. If you dont then it should be no problem

 

Yeah.. i know a few people who seem dependent on it...

 

It can be so addictive that it's hard to not do it every day, if you have it. However, if you don't have it (or super easy access) it's easy to quit, whereas if you're hooked on say meth, even if you don't have it, you're gonna suck some dicks or rob some grannies to get it.

 

Weed is not addictive. You cannot get physically addicted to it. If you smoke a TON of it (i mean more than a few grams a day) then you can become mentally dependent on it, but that is much easier to fix than being addicted to cigs. Another very common thing that can happen is if you smoke before you go to bed every night, your body will get used to using it as a sedative and eventually it'll be hard to sleep without it but thats not that serious either.

ALL IN ALL, POT IS NOT ADDICTIVE IF YOU JUST USE IT RECREATIONALLY

 

really, pretty much anything can be addictive

 

There's some good sensible replys in here peep's. I've been smoking since 16 yrs old n would say its definally mentally addictive 4 me at least but in the same way as drinking tea or coffee is, but when ya thinking about it its prob the most widely used substance know to man hmm hmm hmm. Physically would.nt say its addictive but thats a problem in its self coz your body's not giving u warming signs when you stop using it ie you feel a bit run down flue like ya got the shakes cant eat or sleep.

 

no.

marijuana's not addictive, you are.

 

Honestly, it depends on the person but you never know.

 

This is how it is for me. When I have weed, it's REALLY hard for me not to cave into the temptation and pack a bowl. I rarely go a day without smoking when I have it. But when I run out, I might be dry for a few weeks and it doesn't bother me at all.
