A friend says he is addicted to weed.
He's getting drug counselling and welfare benefits.
He wakes up and skins up, I said this is more habitual behaviour than addiction, its not like being a heroin junkie or an alcoholic.?
Is weed really that addictive?

It is addictive.
its interesting but its not my life.
There's two types of addictions and they're not mutually exclusive. There's a physical addiction and a psychological addiction. Something like alcohol is physically addictive but not psychologically addictive (usually), as in you'll get withdrawal symptoms if you drink enough but it's usually not habit forming and you won't get cravings or urges. Marijuana is psychologically addictive, which means there are no real withdrawal symptoms but it is habit forming and you'll really want to smoke weed if you try to quit.
FYI, drinking alcohol at exactly the same time every night at high enough levels (like downing 3/4 shots) will be psychologically addictive and smoking weed shitloads can create a strong enough mental change in that you'll get something similar to a physical addiction, in that the loss of euphoria will give you literal depression.
thanks man, good explanation.
my uncle was a proper alcoholic, saw him fall down with the DT's a few times.
Weed addiction seems really nothing after seeing that. Like "oh no I got to smoke a weak plant material"
I think it's kinda different for anybody. I personally quite smoking weed after about 15 years of daily consumption with no problems or side effects at all.
But I also have a friend who is "struggling" for years now and he doesn't seem to be able to quit. But to be honest, he is quite a neurotic person and I really believe that he only tells himself that he is addicted and he is giving himself a hard time for no real reason.
