Actually, Mr. Mutant, addiction to marijuana is a very real and very serious problem in the United States. Although the drug is not physically addictive, many many individuals become psychologically addicted to it. To outright deny that addiction to marijuana is possible would be downright laughable. Even the most vehement saynayers known deep down that there are plenty of people out there who are struggling with their addiction to pot. I do agree that cannabis is a great medicine, and not a narcotic, but that doesn't meant it's completely harmless.

1. when the use of marijuana cannot be controlled 2. when the use of marijuana begins to negatively affect the user's life against their wishes 3. when the obsession over using marijuana inhibits one's normal functioning
Person repeatedly says I'm going to quit smoking pot. They prove unable to do so, for whatever reason. Using marijuana impacts short-term memory which causes the person to begin making mistakes and forgetting things they don't mean to. Eventually, one of these mistakes ends up costing the person something more than what they wanted, no matter how big. The marijuana user becomes pre-occupied with wanting to use again and that time and mental energy takes away from normal life. All of these are examples of marijuana addiction.

ACTUALLY "portugee", a real dumbass is somebody who doesn't believe in something simply because they don't like the idea of it, i.e. you and the frightening idea that marijuana is in fact addictive. Yes, there is a difference between crack and cannabis, only a moron would think otherwise, but that doesn't mean marijuana is harmless. You don't have to "suck someone's dick" to be addicted to something. I have firsthand experience dealing with people who have become addicted to marijuana. Do some actual research before you start calling people dumbasses.
We wouldn't have Marijuana Anonymous if marijuana addiction was not an actuality. All the denial in the world will not change this.

Apparently, pot makes you brain dead as well.
Denial of it is a massive part of addiction, and as most definitions (in poor english, too) of it here are denying its addictive qualities, it appears most smokers are addicted.

It's bullshit. You CANNOT be addicted to cannabis.
Everyone who thinks it's addicting has never chronically smoked.
There's is a HUGE difference between being addicted, and just not wanting to stop.
It's not like any other drug, or even tobacco where it's hard to quit.
Most people don't want to, but if you ever want to stop smoking pot, you'll have absolutely NO PROBLEM doing so.

A physical and psychological dependence on marijuana. There is a large debate on whether this exists. While marijuana is not naturally addictive nor contains ingredients which make it addictive like nicotine, it is possible to become dependent on marijuana to get you through a regular day. It may also become a daily task that you cannot live without doing. You can become addicted to anything. It may not be as severe and addiction as other things such as crack, tobacco and alcohol, but it still exists.

Bob: "Man you need to 'take a hit' 5 times a day, every day. I think you might be a victim of Marijuana Addiction."
Rick: "Shut up stupid! You can't get addicted to weed."
Bob: "Just because marijuana doesn't have nicotine doesn't mean you can't get addicted to it."
Rick: "Oh. Well, I'm still going to take a hit."
