Anything can be addicting. Running, sex, choir, video games, cheeseburgers, etc.

A physiological addiction occurs when the body cannot function properly without the presence of the drug. This is why detoxing from alcohol can be fatal: alcohol is a depressant and your brain undergoes physiological changes when exposed to vast amounts of alcohol over time.

So is weed addictive?

Here are our thoughts: Just as we mentioned above in this article, anything can be addicting. The only difference in addiction is the magnitude; “psychological vs physiological”, in other words, do you prefer to smoke weed everyday or does your body absolutely need it or you will die.

Because NO ONE HAS EVER DIED of weed addiction or withdrawal, it’s fair to say that weed is not addictive in the same regard to heavy drugs.
