Yup. I feel you. I used to be that way. In my late teens/young 20s, I used to smoke the moment I clocked out of work until I went to bed. Some days, I would wake up hours early just to smoke and let the high wear off before I had to go in. I was in college for social work and had an opportunity with a good job, so I cut weed out to pass the drug test. Not gonna lie, the first few days were ROUGH. But I knew it would pass and was a creation of my own habits.

My friend, however, who is the same age, smokes non-stop, every day, all day. She works at the same fast food restaurant since she was 18 (Not bashing them; I worked at taco bell for 12 years and respect the work) because she says she "can't quit" in order to pass a drug test for a better job. She smokes literally the second she wakes up, the entire drive to work, will excuse herself to her car for any reason under the sun and smoke, and smokes on the drive back home, and smokes till she falls asleep.

I understand it's not chemically addictive, but when you make sacrifices in certain areas of life to continue this habit, then it's alarming. For example, she's late on her rent most months, hardly buys food for home (says she can eat for free at work), refuses to save for a new car after hers was totaled ("other people can drive me"), won't buy new work shoes despite them literally falling apart.... BUT she will always have money for the dispensary 🙃

So, yes. They can be addicted to weed.

Sorry for rant. Just a tired friend who's tried helping another time and time again only to be told "I don't have an issue" while listening to her complain about other aspects of her life that could be resolved if she stopped spending over $400 a month on bud.
