A member asked:
Could i become addicted by trying a little recreational weed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible, yes: Likely no. If a person never takes the first drink or drug, they can never get dependent on it. Addiction is more than the amount of drug that is used; it is when the drug hijacks your life, you are no longer in control of it, it causes harm in your life, yet you don't stop, you try to stop it, and maybe you can for a while, but you go back to it. Use despite harm and loss of control are major.
