This is not professional advice but from my experience of dealing with friends, family memebers, and also working with children in an educational background, addiction is anything that takes control of your life and choices that inhibits your life or your ability to do things on a daily basis, either work, school, family engagments etc. If you feel your loosing control, or that you doing pot is getting in the way of your life then your addicted. Normal functioning people in life can be addicted too, it depends on if you can stop doing it or not. (not just say you will stop but actually stop w/o cravings or thoughts of doing it. Being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming (especially alcohol or narcotic drugs)
an abnormally strong craving. Plus unless you live right now in Alaska, or Cali, or have a script for it, having posession of pot is illegal and the consequences of it will not outweight the advantages. You just have to decide for yourself if its worth it to you, there are so many things to do in life, that don't have a high cost to pay for doing them. Still its your choice and life. Enjoy your week:)
yes you can be addicted to pot. you become addicted when you find yourself wanting to use all day and night. it's just like any other drug. i knew i was addicted when i got up in the am and,the first thing i did was roll up a blunt. the i was getting high for no apparent reason. it took the law to make me quit. i began noticing that when i did get high, i wasn't getting no higher than i was before! now that's a problem.
