Answers:
Your question is ridicioulus!.
Of course Cannabis is addictive!.
Its a drug!. Why would anyone attention seek about that!?
People can become addicted to any drug!.
Including CANNABIS!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well not really

people can be addicted to anything really
like gambling (addicted to losing money!?)


its addictive but not in the sense that cigarettes are

cigarettes are addictive because they chemically change your brain cells enough that they become almost dependent on that nicotine drug being there to function properly

so when you take it away, your brain makes you feel like you need to have it!. like a hunger but for something that isn't food!.
The cells have receptors but your brain doesn't make nicotine just like it doesn't make sugar, so you crave it when you don't have it!.


Cannabis does change your brain in a different way!.
It makes cells add extra CB1 receptor sites to the cells that are effected by weed!.
so you need less weed to get the same effect!.
As well as your body makes cannabinoids (they are in weed and in your body) whether you smoke pot or not so your brain doesn't feel deprived if you stop smoking pot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cannabis is extremely addictive psychologically, as anyone who works for a drug treatment agency or in a mental health capacity will testify!.More and more dope smokers are seeking treatment because cannabis has taken over their lifes and is having a hugh negative effect on their social, economical, and financial lives!.For example some smokers cannot start the day unless they have had a joint, or all their spare money goes on the drug etc!.There is no difference between cannabis,cocaine,alcohol,heroin etc,they are all addictive drugs its just the effect that are different!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cannabis is not physically addictive, but I think you can get psychologically addicted to alot of things including cannabis!.

I have a friend who has to have his couple of joints every evening to relax but he wouldn't get the shakes or anything if he didn't get his fix, so he has got into a habit I think that is all just habit forming!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's mentally addictive, meaning that you can convince yourself that you need to smoke it, also like smoking in general, it quickly becomes a habit were by you think you need one e!.g first thing in the morning, or after dinner, or when you come home from work and want to relax!.
The problem is in some people, it can make them become soo lazy that they waste their lives away, becoming to stoned to move off the sofa and do anything!. I was able to stop after 15 years of smoking it, no probs, but my ex just couldn't get out of the habit and lost his friends and family because he never wanted to do anything,expt smoke, ie boring!. Plus you may get tummy aches when you first try and stop, but they go after 2-3 wks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nope!. Addiction is both physical and psychological!. Weed does not induce physical addiction but the psychological component can, and often is, very strong!. And I'm not BSing you on this!. When it comes to treating a person's addictions, it is very important for health care providers to address the psychological component as well as the physical!. More often than not, fixing the psychological addiction over the physical one is more important and is a better indication of successful therapy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it becomes a habit
People keep doing it because its fun and makes them happy, plus there is usually not much of a downside!.

The reason people are "addicted" is because once activities are done frequently while high, they seem very dull when done not high!.

Theres also this horrible little thing called boredom!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's not physiologically addictive

anything can be psychologically addictive

{edit} good point from below!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. mixing hash with tobacco would make the joint physically addictive!.!. the user would be addicted to the nicotine, but think they were actually addicted to the weed - especially with the psychological addiction aspectWww@Answer-Health@Com

I would say so!. most are addicted to nicotine in the joints!.

If they were to just smoke it in a pipe or bong then they would find that they could either take it or leave it without the usual cravings when smoking joints!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anything can be addictive to some-one with an addictive personality - chocolate, beer, burgers, cough sweets, glue, caffeine or whatever!.

You are not medically qualified to judge what is or what is not addictive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there is no physical addiction, possible psychological addiction (meaning in your head) but if you stop smoking there will be no physical withdrawl symptoms, most likely just mood problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes like most drugs, cannabis is addictive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no they are not faking, any drug can be addictive even aspirin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

whos getting paranoid then!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
