Marijuana IS Addictive“Contrary to common belief, marijuana is addictive. Estimates from research suggest that about 9 percent of users become addicted to marijuana; this number increases among those who start young (to about 17 percent, or 1 in 6) and among people who use marijuana daily (to 25-50 percent).”
NIDA
The DSM 5 clearly spells out the OBJECTIVE criteria for addiction and for the first time “Cannabis Withdraw” is listed as a diagnosis

• The adolescent brain is especially susceptible to marijuana use.
• When kids use, they have a greater chance of developing addiction.

Concentrates : 710 is the new 420Butane-extracted hash oil (BHO)
A chunk of the stuff the size of a Tic Tac can be the equivalent of hoovering up an entire joint
in one massive toke. Even for hardcore smokers, the experience – which fans call
dabbing – can be like getting high for the very first time. Your head spins, your eyes get
fluttery, a few beads of sweat surface on your forehead and, suddenly, you're cosmically
baked.”(Rolling Stone Magazine, 6/20/2013)
