Why is marijuana addicting?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what kind of weed youre smoking. But weed has no addictive chemicals. Maybe you got it from the streets? Or it was mixed with tobacco. Btw from the streets means it has other drugs in it.No dude, that's for smoking, not for marijuana

You lungs are addicted to the comfort of the smoke, but it is more a psychology addiction.

Answer 2

Marijuana can be psychologically addictive for some individuals due to its effects on the brain's reward system. It can lead to a dependency where a person feels the need to use it regularly to experience its pleasurable effects or to cope with stress or negative emotions. Physical withdrawal symptoms from marijuana are usually mild compared to other substances, but the psychological dependence can still be strong.

Answer 3

Technically, it's not. Marijuana has no physicallyaddictive symptoms. Marijuana doesn't contain any properties which are physically addictive, such as cigarettes contain nicotine. A person is able to use large amounts of marujuana regularly, then suddenly stop and not go through any withdrawel symptoms commonly associated with drug or alcohol detox, such as fevers, chills, vomiting, shaking, etc.

However, many (regular) smokers will agree with the fact that their is a certain mental addiction, which isn't an addiction per se, but a want to do more. It's a well-known fact that people with mental problems, such as depression or bipolar, choose to smoke marijuana because it makes them "feel better" - however this means that if/when they stop, the shock of reality is twice as bad. Marijuana creates feelings of happiness, wooziness, safety, etc. You just feel "good".

It's hard to make yourself stop, but if you do have the mental strength you won't have physical withdrawel side-effects. You may, however, experience low emotional moods and a high level of irratibility.
