Agree that the pro-legalization movement likes to claim "not addictive" but what they always have meant (which if pressed, they generally will acknowledge) is that it is not physically addictive.
It is, of course, psychologically addictive because literally anything can be.
Surprised i had to scroll so far down the comments to see this reply among the sea of “but weed is addictive, despite everyone claiming otherwise”.
You are fully correct, people talk only about the physical component of addiction when it comes to drugs, because, as you said, literally anything can be psychologically addicting. Videogames, movies, tv shows, work, etc., all of those. If it is an activity or something you interact with, it can be psychologically addictive.
In light of that, I am confused by all those “but weed is addicting” comments. It is kind of obvious that the article is talking about physical addiction exclusively.
It is, of course, psychologically addictive because literally anything can be.
