      They seem to believe a lot of nonsense. So i wouldnt take their claims for much.

      That said while there is a clinical difference between physically and psychological addiction I personally vouch for a more open approach that different people can experience and suffer from addiction in multiple ways. There is also some evidence that similar to allergies some rare people can be physically addicted to anything.

        Unfortunately, they already said blatantly in a response to me that it is physically addictive. I am waiting for evidence.

            No, that is not evidence of physical addiction. People struggle to stop gambling. That doesn’t mean gambling is physically addictive.

            When I ask for evidence, I am asking for an academic study that agrees with you. That should have been obvious.

                I met dozens if not hundreds of people who did exactly that. Most indefinitely. Usually without any therapeutic help.

                Because it is not physically addictive. It can be psychologically addictive, yes, and some people really do struggle to stop using it. Though most users can quit relatively easy and usually do when they need to be more responsible in their life; ‘grow up’.

                Can you find a scientific source supporting your stance? Something like (but rather the opposite of) “Recent data suggest that 30% of those who use marijuana may have some degree of marijuana use disorder.”?

                You, again, could say the same about gambling. I think you aren’t providing any studies because studies would not agree with you.
