The term "habit forming" generally implies a method of physical addiction (as opposed to mental), as with heroin or amphetamines.

Ya skittles are not habit forming.... they lack anything that is addictive.

Ya, i guess anybody can have an addictive personality and get hooked on stuff easier than others, but failing to see the difference between pot and other drugs that are habit forming is as silly as saying skittles are habit forming.

How many people on here are regular smokers (i.e once a week or more)? A lot of people seem to post while they're stoned.
Just about daily, 90% of the time I'm high, it's past 9pm and I'm just doin whatever to wind down before bed. I smoke a lot and I know it, but it doesn't really seem to take a toll on my life, so I see no reason to bother stopping. I run about 2 - 3 miles at least 5 days a week (nothing special, but it's something), I've had a steady job for the last 5 years, and I'm getting better grades now than I was before I started and my school is generally pretty tough. Social life is fine as it's ever been as well.
I will say this, I think pot just has a different effect / meaning for different people. I just like being relaxed I guess, and mixing or listening to music is just a great experience. I've also been smoking for so long that I don't truly get "high" anymore, I mean, I'm definitely high just not nearly as badly as I was when I first started. I'm sure I have a habit at this point, but the pros at this stage in my life simply outweigh the cons. To each their own.
It's also great for insomnia which I've had forever, so I really like being able to just smoke a bowl and go to sleep nearly whenever I want. And yeah, people who get giggly and act like idiots while high are generally inexperienced, or just stupid. If I'm high and around people that aren't, as long as I've got eye drops or something, they generally can't even tell.

If there's one thing I've noticed about weed, it's that the relation between the herb and the user is so personal that practically everyone feels differently about it. In all aspects, how it makes you behave, how it makes you feel (two completely different things, imo) and most of all, how quitting might affect you.
My physical addiction to weed is nothing else than loosing sleep for two, or three nights tops, and other than that I feel normal. Well maybe a bit tense and frustrated, the same feeling I get after a couple of hours after I wake up and haven't my first cig of the day. In a nutshell, it's nothing I can't handle.
But mentally it all comes down to attitude. If I decide that not getting high is the greatest injustice in the history of the world, it feels just like that. All out rage and homo-tantrums. And if I decide it's not a biggy, then I can go a month or two without it, and not stress about it one bit. The sleep thing is the only thing that I can't 'think away', and it lasts for only two or three nights. I don't even consider it as any symptom of withdrawal, just something that my body needs to adjust to for a couple of days.
And after a month of being sober, I always come back out of love, I fucking love everything about weed and that's that. It's the only drug I can start using over and over again, and never get the feeling I relapsed or something. Mainly because it's the only thing I can do every day without it affecting my daily routines. As an example I could say that I've smoked every day for God knows how long, and not once have I been stoned at work.

I feel exactly the same way, only I've been smoking consistently for about two years.
