most people with addictions wont admit to it, the only ones that do are the ones trying to get off it, or have gotten over it.

I've gone a month or so...It's nothing really major, I smoke because I like it. I think anyone who really has a will can quit if they put their mind to it. How hard do you really think it is? I've known WAYYYY more people who have quit smoking weed than any other drug, including cigarettes...

i think it takes more determination to quit cigarettes, because that's more of a long term battle (it can take years to fully kick the habit of smoking, the nicotine cravings subside after 3 months though), so cig's are harder to quit... but the initial month after quitting smoking weed takes a huge toll, mainly because of cold sweats, sleepless nights which lead to anxiety and grumpiness, to having a highly alert brain when you quit compared to when you smoke 3-4x per day, meaning over analysing shit etc. it got to the point i actually forgot how to drive sober, in the sense when i was wasted i'd drive the limit, keep cool, sober i'd drive like a maniac.
to this day i still smoke weed, i'll smoke weed til i die, BUT i wouldn't and couldn't smoke the shit regularily ever again. just on weekends, or after exams n shit. these days if i smoke everyday i dont enjoy it because of how counter productive i feel smoking weed, if i smoke 3 days in a row i feel like i'm falling behind and losing my focus, so it's not possible for me to get into that habit ever again. back in the day my only goal was to get high, i had no ambition, so it was easy to slip into that kind of mentality for me.

I typed up a long response, then my computer froze when I pressed "post". FUCK! Anyways...
In so many words, it sounds like you're saying that you're mentally weak to handle weed. When I quit, I'd say the first week was SLIGHLTY troubling, only due to it being tougher to sleep and eat. But after that first week, I felt no urges to smoke whatsoever. Simple as whistlin dixies...It's a MENTAL addiction, your body doesn't need it...Weed is different for everyone mentally, though. It all depends on the person and how they take it in. For me, smoking weed can be an advantage in a way. You get to see the world from 2 different perspectives instead of only 1. You see and understand things most people don't when you're high, you think about things other people wouldn't stop to think about, usually the small things in life...It also aids the relaxation of your brain, keeping you calmer (this is why you drive better high). A lot of people who dont smoke live in their same, (potentially) stressful mindset all day. When I smoke, I get to step out of that and see the world through a different screen. It's like being a bird in the sky, looking down on the world as a whole and analyzing it. I dunno about you, but I'm over analytical when I'm high, not when I'm sobering up. Explanations wont do much justice, because I just sound like a stoner defending weed... but honestly, once you get used to weed, the biggest problem is in what it does to the body...That's for me, of course. Someone else can smoke weed and slit his wrists...It's all on the individual.

when i first statred blazin i used to get a buzz, think heaps about random funny shit, after a while you build tolerance to weed and it wont get you high anymore, atleast not in the same way when you first start.
think of it this way, you blaze once every year, and get fucking high, the high you get is so much different to what you are in reality, up in the sky like you mentioned... so reverse that scenario, blaze HEAVILY every day then sober up.
high grade THC stays in your system for up to a month, your body can build a need for THC, ask a doctor. There is a physical and mental addiction associated with THC.
Chief:
all in all, i'm not saying weed is some super addictive drug that you cant quit..
but it can be addictive, and quitting may be difficult.
all i said is doctors would know the risks associated with it, such as dependance etc etc.

Naah, dude. You're wrong...THC is not physically addicting. I'm pretty sure this is proven...Nicotine is physically addicting because your blood develops a need for it. Once you start smoking cigs, it kills the small amount of nicotine already in your body, so you get that need for it. What do you think those patches and chewing gums are all about? They're small doses of nicotine to ween you of cigs because it's physically addicting... You physically need it in your body, as opposed to THC, where it is mostly a mental thing. I've known plenty of daily weed somkers who have stopped smoking weed for different purposes (army, sports, probation, change, etc.) as opposed to people who just dropped cigarettes.
THC, the main active component in marijuana, may protect the brain from the ravages of Alzheimer's disease, U.S. scientists reported. In lab experiments release on 10/09/2006, investigators from Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif., found THC appears to block an enzyme in the brain that causes plaques to form better than currently approved drugs.
THC may also be an effective anti-cancer treatment, with studies showing tumor reduction in mice, conducted in 1975.
