can you get addicted to smoking pot?

Answer 1

my favorite answer to this question is "of course not, and I would know, I've been smoking every day for 20 years!"

lol

it's possible to be addicted to *anything*.
i would warrant there are plenty of people here who are addicted to television, scheduling, the internet, video games, their jobs, etc...
anything can be addictive.

pot is slightly more (a bit of sarcasm) destructive, though, than being addicted to scheduling one's time...

pot is not physically addictive, per se, but it does change the amount of neurons your brain produces to keep you happy and balanced --- it provides them in excess so that your brain, if you continue using pot, stops producing them.
so, you feel sad or upset or frustrated more often -- so you smoke pot to produce those neurons (dopamine and something else, sarotonin?)... which stops your brain from producing them at a greater rate... etc etc etc and the cycle goes on.

so no, you won't get sick and throw up if you stop smoking pot after using it regularly, but you'll feel right-crappy, and the drug produces in most regular users the same mental and emotional consequences that every other chemical addiction produces.

short answer:
no, not physically addictive, but yes, just as addictive in other ways as every other drug (and many lifestyle habits)
