In actuality, a real problem found in regular marijuana users, BUT only limited to 10 percent of the said population population. No different from an addiction probably apparent in a contingent of Twinkie lovers. In which case, we can extrapolate and say there is always a percentage of aficinados for ANYTHING that are addicted. Most (albeit few) addictions are psychological, and very few are caused by physical symptoms. This is in fact due to the long molecular half life of the substance and will remain in the body for a long time after use. Even if affected by said 'ailment' none are life threatening unlike caffeine, alcohol, or sugar saturated foods.

Actually Mr. Lament, your a dumbass. I can't think of any pot head i know, including yours truely, that cant quit the shit when they need to. ive never heard of anyone suckin dick for weed man, have you? maybe there is someone out there like that, but everyone knows that a true addiction is when you'll give everythang up for one thing, not just "ohh, i want some weed."
pothead and addict are two complete things, one smokes weed alot, the other will whore themselves... there is no such thing as a marijuana addiction, and if you believe there is, then go look at your neighborhood crackhead... THATS addiction

The condition of being addicted to marijuana; found only in unicorns, winged frogs, and other figments of an overactive imagination.
Tom: My buddy Apollo has such a raging marijuana addiction, he can barely keep his job.
Sarah: Oh? What does he do?
Tom: He drives the magical flaming chariot that carries the sun across the sky every day, duh.

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.
