marijuana addiction

1. when the use of marijuana cannot be controlled 2. when the use of marijuana begins to negatively affect the user's life against their wishes 3. when the obsession over using marijuana inhibits one's normal functioning

Person repeatedly says I'm going to quit smoking pot. They prove unable to do so, for whatever reason. Using marijuana impacts short-term memory which causes the person to begin making mistakes and forgetting things they don't mean to. Eventually, one of these mistakes ends up costing the person something more than what they wanted, no matter how big. The marijuana user becomes pre-occupied with wanting to use again and that time and mental energy takes away from normal life. All of these are examples of marijuana addiction.
