Is it possible to get addicted to marijuana like you could with cigarettes?

Q: I was wondering if it is possible to get seriously addicted to marijuana as you can with cigarettes. I’m pretty sure the only kind of “addiction” you can get, is to the high that you get, but you can’t get a physical addiction. Is that true?

A: Several people have answered already but i figured i would throw my two cents in as well because I feel so strongly about this subject.I am 23, have 2 careers, and make 85k per year. I have been smoking weed almost everyday since I was 16. Obviously it hasn’t made me lazy, and to me its a way of life. There is a time and a place for everything, and I always make time to smoke. To answer your question, marijuana is addictive to the mind and spirit but not to the body. When I have to fly on business somewhere, lets say for a week, I don’t smoke (because I don’t have any). I have yet to experience a single withdrawal symptom. I can go as long as I want without smoking and nothing physically will happen to me, I will just miss doing it.Cigarettes on the other hand….If you are a pack a day smoker (like my father) you cant go 4 hours without having a cigarette. It is torture going without one. Cigarette smokers experience withdrawal symptoms when they don’t smoke such as headache, nausea, and irritability, much like a drug addict.

An aunt has always been addicted to marijuana. How can I step in this personal issue?

Q: An aunt has always been addicted to marijuana. How can I step in this personal issue? I work in Favoretta, Florida. Which government or voluntary or professional services company can help me with this problem?

A: Its a touchy subject. People that smoke pot adamantly swear that it has no bad effects and that it should be legal. People that have quit and know better, stated to medical journals: we quit because it made us paranoid, emotionally unstable and feeling incredibly neurotic. Most older people that have quit smoking pot make the same statements.She is not going to want to quit, for one reason: she hides in a fog so that she doesnt have to face reality, and she thinks what she is doing is ok. If you have a group of family members that could get together and sit down with her and get her to stop by intervening, great…otherwise, getting her to stop on her own wont be easy.
