Oh man, we should just drop these useless terms "physical" and "mental" addiction. There are studies that 'prove' marijuana physically addictive and there are studies that 'prove' the other way around. Here we just throw around our opinions without even knowing what exactly is the difference between the terms physical and psychological addiction "psychological addiction means it's all in your head" is pretty damn vague.
I think there's a psychological and physical component to every addiction. You simply CAN'T separate the two. It's like saying that the need to take a piss/dump is all in your head. Not only is there a physical and psychological component to every addiction, the way they work together is intertwined: physical symptoms can cause psychological symptoms and vice-versa. I don't think there's much sense either trying to argue who came first, chicken or the egg.
