Answer 1

Teresa, an addiction is anything that makes your life unmanageable. Ask yourself if anything is unmanageable right now. Finances because of the cost of weed, risky behaviors to obtain the weed, if you are caught with it the possibility of jail? Do you feel like you have to use it to feel relaxed or to "fit in" or "feel normal"? If you have answered yes to any of these then you are an addict.
Alot of people may disagree, but it is a mind altering chemical (THC) and thusfore is addictive.

Answer 2

I think you are really the only one who will be able to say if you are addicted or not.

If smoking pot has any type of negative effect on your life and you continue to do it anyway that is usually an indicator that it is a problem.

Just because your body doesn't get addicted to pot doesn't mean that you can't psychologically be addicted.

I think by asking this question you probably have some idea whether or not you are addicted.

Answer 3

yes you are an addict because there is a big difference between trying it once and doing it 5-6 times a week so if you want to quit get some help to show you how

Answer 4

No, it won't. Especially with how healthy you say you are. It usually(for most people) stays in your system for a month. There are two types of strains of marijuana, I forgot the name, but one is the euphoric/happy/funny high, and the other one is the Stoned high(it makes you feel really dumb and tired). I usually smoke the stoner high weed, but I smoked the euphoric kind before. For your first time(depending on how good the weed) 7-8 hits is more than enough. But, you're safe :)

Answer 5

Hey girl i smoke like, 2 times a day......... But it used to be more ...... If it starts to make you lazy or unproductive ,then iw ould slow it down and use it only as a special treat or reward. That feeling of being out of control is not good. The feeling of rewarding yourself with it is very ... i cant explain it, but it feels good. The feeling of "OMG I NEED IT" or if your having a bad day and you use it, that is using it as a CRUTCH in life. It shows you are a weak person, and have no control. The people i look up to in life are the ones who get their sh!t done, and reward themselves with something they like to do AFTER. You can slow it down if you want .... your just making excuses. When u stop making excuses for it and using it as a reward you will not feel like the dreaded- looked down upon word ----DRUG ADDICT

Answer 6

If you can't quit, you're an addict. That's the very definition of addiction.

Answer 7

Yes you are an addict. Yes you need help! Maybe a new hobby that won't cost you jail time ...Paris is that you?

Answer 8

yea u maybe atticted but you may need 2 go see someone like a psycholgist and find other ways for you to deal with your problems

Answer 9

Of course! Most definitely. Tell me one thing, do you love yourself? do you love life?
I don't think so, simply because "IF" you did you would never do drugs, but again this is your life, take it or leave it, who am I to say.
Its sad, beautiful person like you doing drugs and throwing away your life.
You will be in my prayers.

Answer 10

if you smoke once every month you are considered an addict, anytime your body needs it to feel good or "normal" your an addict
