- Dumblydorr 8y agoDepends on which definition of addiction you adhere to. In medicine, there is substance misuse vs substance abuse, and the line between them has to do with negative impacts in life that are results from the substance use. So, drug addict itself is not the best term, as one might use that to describe a daily user of caffeine or alcohol and yet they are seemingly unhindered by their habit, though they may be technically addicted due to near 100% consistent use.

- asdff 8y agoCaffeine and alcohol daily gives you physical withdraw systems. A better comparison would be video games or movies/TV and MJ. You can get emotionally addicted and opt to play video games or smoke instead of doing productive things, but if you walk away from either you aren't going to get a splitting migraine and crushing fatigue like quitting coffee cold turkey.
