Do You Think Pot is Addictive?

I do. I've been smoking two to three times a week for the last six months, and I am having such a hard time stopping. Although weed is about as easy to buy as shoes around here, the fact that it is illegal makes me go to such lengths, and makes me think about smoking all the time. I just can't seem to stop. I know its not physically addictive, but to me, it sure as hell is mentally addictive. I was wondering if anybody else on Yahoo has this problem or could offer advice, because this obviously isn't something I'm going to shout about around here.

Suggestion:

You wrote, "I know its not physically addictive, but to me, it sure as hell is mentally addictive."

Yes, the word for "mentally addictive" is habituation (see link, below), and it can happen with anything, not just pot. Like that's why they call some folks "sex addicts" and like that.

The best way to end such a habit is gradually. Like, you keep track of how often you smoke, and every week you smoke a little less, so it's less and less every week, and eventually you're down to almost nothing.

Good luck!… ☺
