Not addictive in that you won’t form a chemical dependency. But anything can be psychologically addictive - weed, binge eating, video games, even going to the gym.
I kinda want to push back on this. If there is no chemical dependency whatsoever, why do some people have physical symptoms (insomnia, night sweats, lack of appetite are some of the more common) when quitting?
Don’t get me wrong, I like weed, and nicotine/booze/cocaine/heroin it ain’t. But flooding your system with exogenous cannabinoids surely has a biochemical impact (downregulation of your cannabinoid receptors), and so too does removing that input after you’ve been doing it long term. I don’t really know what to call physical symptoms related to what the endocannabinoid system helps regulate other than signs of chemical dependency.
Important to note, though, that unlike other substance dependencies it’s a reasonable bet cannabis withdrawls won’t kill you.
