The scope was about addiction classified under both psychological AND physical/physiological.
That's because I don't believe that "psychological addiction" is real...in this sense. I don't believe that there's a correlation between any particular substance and a
"pyschological addition." To the extent that "psychological addiction" is real, that's the psychology of the INDIVIDUAL, and there is no evidence I have seen that it's anything but this---a person prone toward that kind of thing, if it's not one substance (or activity) it's another.
There's thousands upon thousands of compulsions, emotional dependencies, and "psychological addictions" out there. There are even cases I have read about where certain people are "psychologically addicted" to the taste of human blood...so called clinical vampires. It's obviously not the blood that causes it.
Unless a substance produces an actual biochemical dependency, then I don't believe for a second that calling IT addictive is real.
And once you get to "psychological additiction," it's the person not the substance, and with that person, if it';s not one thing it's another.
Again...to supplement this with personal info again. My wife worked for a rehab clinic. She trained for it, studied for it, and did it. Her answer to whether marijuana is addictive in any way shape or form is no. Simple direct no. That comes from the profession, that's not just her opinion.
