I met some people who came straight up and said "I am addicted to marijuana." These people, not neccessarily couldn't live without it, but could not function properly. I feel sorry for them...
But that is not addiction, it's psychological dependance. Addiction is earmarked by a physical dependance on a substance. They just need to quite smoking for a month or two and most of thier "cravings" and related problems will vanish.
Not defeated, just need to clarify your vocabulary so others better understand your meaning and intention. I certainly don't feel like a victor nor do I want to. :cheers2:
