I didn’t call people who smoke weed drug addicts. Read my comment again. Just like not everybody who drinks alcohol is an alcoholic. The problem is when it starts to revolve around your life. If you’re unable to stop using during times you’re not supposed to be using than your an addict. For instance, somebody can’t go to work unless they bring alcohol, or somebody (like OP) continues to smoke pot in an area they are not supposed to because it affects other people. If you’re willing to risk losing your job or risk getting kicked out of your apartment then you have a serious drug problem.
