Addictions

Addiction to a drug may be either psychological or physical. People get addicted to smoking due to their physical need of nicotine. Once the body gets used to the drug, it tries to keep the level of nicotine in the body constant. This leads to a continuous need to smoke and induce nicotine in the body. But addiction to other drugs like marijuana is more of a psychological addiction. The body doesn’t ask for more drugs. Instead it is the mind that craves to feel high using the drug. Man subconsciously craves to smoke weed.

Point being.....??

Its still an addiction and you need to take similar measures to treat both, don't you?

From what I know, you need similar type of help to control weed or any other drug addiction.
