No, Cannabis does not affect the portion of the brain that is affected by physical addiction, like how most substances do. However the liklihood of a psychological addiction can affect roughly 9% of heavy users. I forget exactly where and when I read that, but it was in a scientific journal where the financier paid a university biomedical department a shit ton of money to denigrate Cannabis, only for them to discover a myriad of healthy benefits from casual use. The same things happened to Richard Nixon when he commissioned the Shaeffer Report in the early 1970's, and when the late 1940's mayor of New York, Fiere (spelling?) LaGuardia commissioned his own study, and discovered the 1937 Marihuana Tax Stamp Act was full of lies.

Seems to be a fine line. Some users have mild withdrawal symptoms like insomnia & sleep disorders, irritability, depression, according to [b]https://americanaddictioncenters.org/withdrawal-timelines-treatments/weed-marijuana[/b]
They usually clear up after a couple weeks, according to the above. Are those withdrawal symptoms physical or mental?

Not that I know of, but like anything I guess a person can become emotionally/psychologically addicted to it.

Nope

No. It's habit-forming and some people can get dependent but so is gambling. There's no chemical dependency formed.

Not physically addictive. Can be emotionally addictive though.

I've smoked the stuff twice, never felt compelled to try it again.

I’ve known people who [b]thought[/b] they were addicted.
So perhaps for some it is, like alcohol.

@bijouxbroussard I drove home after having smoked some. It was honestly the best and most relaxed drive home ever. The car felt like it was floating

@TheOthetAcc It makes me feel dull and lethargic. That’s not a pleasant sensation for me.
