In the context of drugs; addiction is defined by the stages of preoccupation, intoxication and withdrawal. Without withdrawal a substance is widely regarded as non-addictive. LSD, psilocybin and marijuana are prime examples. I don't know why I need to keep repeating the fact that the third and final stage of drug addiction is withdrawal and without the presence of withdrawal symptoms a substance can not correctly be called addictive. I will not post further on the matter as I have already stated the facts and it is not constructive to continually repost the same information in an unrelated thread. The only thing I have left to say is this: a heroin user wakes the next day to vomiting, powerful cold sensations and intense muscle and skeletal pain while a marijuana user wakes up feeling fine. Drug addiction = withdrawal.

When I quit weed I woke up with a burning feeling in my chest that yelled at me "smoke, smoke!", my body was also tingling all up and down.

That count as withdrawal or was it physical manifestations of my mental stress?

I've never heard of marijuana ever causing anything like that. I routinely go weeks without it and all I have ever experienced is loss of appetite and mild insomnia which is in line with what is medically accepted as symptoms resulting from the discontinuation of marijuana use. Those burning sensations probably arose from the fact that you smoked too much/often, smoking catnip would likely achieve the same result.

but not everyone is built the same, way, thus my point. Doctors generalize, but drugsand booze alike affect people differently. Spewing the definition of an addiction is great and all, but some don't fit the bil.
