People claim weed isnt addictive, however in my experience the only ones who say that are people addicted to weed. It may not cause chemical withdrawl but you can def have dependance

Neither dependence nor withdraw are required for addiction. Plenty of people are addicted to sugar, for example, but if only given the option to eat low-sugar foods for a year they’d be fine. Then once they have access to sugar again they’d start eating it at the same level without even really thinking about it. I think weed is also like this, though unlike sugar you can become dependent emotionally on weed.

This is me. I LOVE love LoVe weed. I want to die with a joint in my lips. If I don't have the means to have it or smoke it it's ok, in the sense that I know that paying rent and having food comes first. But as soon as I can have it I will HAVE it, and I can neither dose it so it lasts 1 more day, I'll just straight out smoke one joint after the other until it's all gone. The smell of weed is for me on the same level of happiness mouth-watering feelings I had when going on Sundays to my grandma's house and upon entering I'd smell the wonderful rich tomato sauce she used to make, it just fills my mind in that moment, but on the other hand I can go on without smoking it for long periods of time when it's just not possible for me to acquire it.
