    This isn’t really true I my experience. Everyone I know who smokes weed will 100% tell you they will have withdrawal symptoms after quitting for a few days.

      Yes, but they’re mental, not physical.

      That said, you can absolutely be addicted to thc. I know I am. Currently going through a forced cold turkey quit and shit’s terrible - but not physical, luckily.

    Is their THC use disruptive to normal life?
    Is their THC use a coping mechanism that’s been adopted due to certain life circumstances?
    Is their THC use an impediment to their social life?
    Is their THC use something that started in their teen years that had continued into adulthood?

    If the answer is yes, then addiction is highly probable.

    Even so, gentle ways of simply reaching out, connecting, hanging out, and building a stronger social bond can help you determine if intervention is necessary (and these acts might even quell the use).
