Concentrates Addictive?

The line between physical and psychological addiction is nowhere near as clear-cut as you're making it out to be. The physical and psychological are intrinsically connected. The only real line you can draw is, "Will stopping this cold turkey possibly kill me?" Some drugs don't make that cut, but most do....and they can still be completely addictive.
 
Yes, marijuana can be addictive. Marijuana withdrawal can (and actually usually does) lead to physical symptoms. These are much more mild than those involved with most other recreational drugs, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. This is, of course, going to be more pronounced if you've been using concentrates. This shouldn't be a revelation to anyone. 

 

I Don't think that concentrates are addictive or at least not that addictive. But how do you like the silver surfer lol.

 

Rofl. Learn to Google.

There are definitely a lot of people like you out there who don't experience withdrawal symptoms and that's real cool I'm happy for u bro. I just wish that you'd stop telling people like me, who do, that we don't exist. 
 
And I don't care what the guy at the headshop says. The scientific literature, and personal experience, shows that marijuana itself can lead to withdrawal symptoms. It only stands to reason that these symptoms would be more pronounced in those using concentrated cannabinoids, no? You asked a question....but you don't seem too keen on hearing the honest answer...

 

I can't think of the right word, but he may have been using it similarly to "You nearly scared me to death!" And it was figurative not literal.

 

Your choice of emotican made me laugh.

 

Recent studies show that young teens who start smoking chronically at the age of 16 and younger do get addicted to weed if they keep on smoking.
 
It only makes sense.  A man's brain doesn't stop growing till the age of 25 so imagine how undeveloped a brain of a 13-16 year old's is.  Smoking changes and reroutes the pathways in the brain and THC is needed to feel normal or some shit like that.  It was on Drugs Inc for marijuana I think.

 

 
I've had withdrawal symptoms from bud. Nice to meet you.

If you can get addicted to bud, you can get more easily addicted with concentrates. Its mainly a habitual thing, but potency/thc in system is a factor.

 

I can actually say that my self who started smoking around 14 and chronically since 16 have felt psychological withdrawals.  Is it bad enough to make me feel more depressed, sometimes depending on my current mood and when I suddenly think about smoking but can't and haven't for awhile. 
 
Is it crippling like cocaine and benzo withdrawals which I have plenty of experience with? No not even close but withdrawals are withdrawals and it doesn't make you feel any better.
 
Only upside of pot withdrawals are they come and go and you get over it fast unlike other drugs that make you sweat, shake, have no energy, no appetite, no sleep, the list goes on.
 
Edit: Btw it also largely depends on your minds health and the age of when you started smoking.  If you are someone who has no depression problems or mental illness in your blood you will probably be fine especially if you started smoking near your last teen years and more close to a fully developed brain.

 

For some.*
 
I've definitely experienced all of those physical symptoms in near-debilitating ways solely from weed and concentrates. Without mentioning specifics, I'll say that I've gone through withdrawals of all kinds and I wouldn't rate a cannabinoid withdrawal as qualitatively different than w/d from most depressant-type drugs. For me, it only differs in severity, and even then....it's not usually as big a difference as most people would expect....

 

Very true. I should've have written an "I" instead of "you"  Everyone is different. 
 
I've never even smoked modern day concentrates but only hash here and there so I can't even say from personal experience with those products. 

 

The answer, at least for most people, is no. Cannabis has a very low potential for addiction. If you don't have trouble with flowers, you should be fine with properly prepared concentrates, though be aware of their potency.

 

You'll get so high.

 

Cold sweats, have no energy, no appetite, no sleep, minimal expression of emotions, depressive thoughts, and even an almost serious thought of ingesting unmentionables so escape the feeling of withdrawing to sobriety. This is what happens to me when I quit smoking for a day it more. I show signs of depression and mal nutrition to be honest though. So I definitely believe in physical withdrawal symptoms, but I'm sure my current health amplified those negative effects. Another thing, these symptoms don't seem as strong when I approve of a week or less T Break vs. When I run out of weed. So psychology is also a huge factor, at least for me.

 

Lol, who's fighting? Simmer down sir.
 
And I answered your question twice. 
 
"The scientific literature, and personal experience, shows that marijuana itself can lead to withdrawal symptoms. It only stands to reason that these symptoms would be more pronounced in those using concentrated cannabinoids."
 
If you're looking for anything other than a logical extension of the research that exists on marijuana, then you are out of luck. There aren't yet any peer-reviewed studies on the topic that solely looked at concentrates, to my knowledge.
