THC is scientifically proven to cause slight dependence.
However it is only a slight craving and is not addictive in the same way other drugs are. I see cuddles point if you are an addictive bastard then a slight craving can become a raging addiction.

I was actually addicted to chewing gum for a while.

but seriously, I smoked pot almost everyday for about a month and then realised my tolerance was high as fuck, so I stopped for a month. The only thing that happened is that I was kinda stressed out (which was probably because of finals.)

I think that if you have alot of troubles you start to depend on Marijuana to keep you in a state of mind that isn't the state of mind you would be in without it.

u guys need 2 shutup w/ ur scientific shit
is ne1 here willing 2 suck dick 4 weed? NO, its not addictive
u dont get cold turkey, i can go w/out weed for months after smoking everyday 4 a week
its just fun so u want it alot, like chewing gum, obviuously u cant prove how addictive chewing gum is u shuldnt take shit so seriously

i find weed non addictive but after a while a neccesity.... but not addictive like cigs.

wow! thats pretty crazy!

Anything human beings do is basically habit forming. Chewing gum can become a habit like chewing finger nails can. I think weeds habit forming and some what addictive. The only reason withdrawal symptoms from it aren't that bad is because it gets released out of your system relatively slow.

So, I shouldn't chew gum?

If you don't want to chew gum to avoid it becoming a habit I guess so.

Lol.... ah you gotta love this bullshit site. Weed is weed man and if your in need of weed and your prepared to eat another man's seed then your addicted.

K, weed can cause dependence, look here is a quote from the House of Lords cannabis report.
So, yes it does have slight physical dependence.
But, the same report says later in th report...
So, to settle this, yes weed can be addictive. But, it isn't a strong addiction.
