Caffeine is PHYSICALLY addictive, affecting the adrenal glands, among
other things. It is also FAST! The reason APC's and similar preparations
have caffeine in them is to relieve "housewife headache". You get addicted
to caffeine in the morning, and start showing withdrawal symptoms in the
afternoon!

To then state further that "you can get all the tars in cigarettes from grass" is just ridiculous. The tars in cigarettes are of an entirely different nature than the THC resins of marijuana and its derivatives. Besides, it is not the tars in cigarettes which cause the addiction, it is the nicotine. If you wish to argue for a cocaine addiction, realize that it is a psychological condition (no less deadly) rather than a physical one. Cocaine simply does not change one's body chemistry the way that heroine or alcohol does. In defense of good argument, not drugs. -Ben Leimkuhler

The point is the definition of addiction.
Addiction in the context that you use it is psycological addiction.
The other person was saying physically addicted.
Does one go through withdrall symtoms, i.e. shakes, cramps, hot
and cold spells, dangerous body chemical imbalances (sometime life
threatening), halucinations, delousions.
