Research CONT CONT

Cannabis and dependance

This was another source that said without a doubt marijuana is addictive, but to what extent? This article like the others says most people don't get dependent, most just experiment. So does this mean pot is only a little addictive? About 1 in 10 people get hooked on it. Thats 10%, is that a high rate of addiction or fairly low? The younger you start and the more you smoke are huge factors and apparently males are more susceptible to a cannabis addiction than females. Are these factors bigger than the actually chemical stimulation in the brain?

The page continues talking about symptoms of an addict, consequences of a cannabis addiction and possible treatment. None of those things are very helpful in my search for how addictive marijuana is.  Overall this source is a bit redundant to the previous sources. Meaning, I've got all the facts I'm going to get on this specific topic.
