Then try stop consuming weed for a year

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

Again, try not doing weed for a year and see if you don't struggle

Again, that can also be said about gambling. When are you going to provide scientific evidence?

Evidence for what? For drug withdrawal syndrome?

I have asked you for scientific evidence for your claim that cannabis is physically addictive multiple times. Don't pretend this is the first time I've said anything.

That does not say it is physically addictive. I suggest you read it. Physical addiction is not just feeling like you really need to to something. It's a physiological condition.

Sure, cannabis triggering the reward system is totally not physical addiction

Gambling triggers the reward system. Is gambling physically addictive?

THC triggers the reward system, gambling doesn't have a substance per se

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."?
