Question by Watercup: How is “addiction” defined? Is one addicted to marijuana if they were at some pt and were sober for years?
but they are sometimes using it again? I just wonder bc I listen to Dr. Drew and he is always calling people addicts and it seems he does it whether they are using now or have before… (for any substance). Shed some light please!

Best answer:

Answer by hunter
weed isnt addicting

Answer by akle n
marijuana is not addictive, its the mind set of having a good time when you smoke that makes you want to do it again. But ya i think he does do it that no matter what, maybe to make them understand. If i was called an addict i would feel horrible and try and stop what i was doing.
