Don't be bringing facts into this conversation. It may have a somewhat psychological addiction but not a physical one.

Permanent changes to the brain that it makes.

You get what is called drug brain.

Would love to see a study following the productivity of a recreational marijuana users in life vs non dopers.
Bet overall they are losers and they probable are in the end major tax takers.

Maybe A CA Guy was referring to alcoholics?

I call BS.

Addiction can be physical or psychological or a combination thereof.

My good friend was diagnosed with COPD. He has been a pot smoker for 30 years. Hard to tell how much he smoked, since he did bongs and joints, but he was just about always baked.

Even after being put on oxygen, he still would try to sneak joints and bong hits. His roommates, fearing he would cause a fire or explosion from the oxygen, had to resort to hiding all of the lighters and making sure someone was around just about 24/7 to stop him from lighting up.

Once he realized he wasn't going to be able to smoke anymore, he became obsessed with enhanced baked goods.

Sure sounds like addictive behavior to me...
