You can become psychologically dependent on it.

I would definitely consider myself being 'addicted' in that sense when I smoked pot.

I didn't get any joy out of recreational activities I was engaging in unless I was high first. I always felt like like the buzz wasn't as good as it could have been if I were high.

A few months after quitting that went away though.

Weed also made me lazy and paranoid after a while, so it was actively damaging to me.

I don't smoke anymore.
