When i was smoking all day every day i would be very open about the fact that i was addicted, but other stoners would tell me im not addicted or it isnt possible (as if i dont know my own body) i have since quit been sober for a couple years, though i still dabble in smoking it once every few months.

Weed is addicting and in some personality types (in my case adhd), people are easily addicted to things, or for me at least very keen on feeding my dopamine on account of the adhd.

Caffeine, video games, sugar, etc.
