hans: you say that but my uncle who's bi-polar and ADHD, possibly a bit PTSD because something in prison, literally goes nuts if he can't get his marijuana fix, rare as it is I've seen actual marijuana addiction, it's bizarre.

near as I can tell the only way to be addicted to it chemically to the point of jonesing (becomeing irritable, aggressive, needy, etc), is for there to be serious instability already to the point that the THC and endorphins affect neuro-chemical imbalances so that you become dependent on it for that balance.

basically it's not direct chemical dependence but chemical dependence on it's effects, if that makes any sense?

but again, rare.
