Sorta right, sorta wrong, premise is weak -- Weed is NOT PHYSICALLY ADDICTIVE. It can be psychologically.

Beer / hard liquor IS PHYSICALLY addictive. Cigarettes ARE. Caffeine IS.

Sugar is! AND it causes great long-term harm, hard to quantify how much since there is basically no control group, since it's given to children early on, it's put in near everything, and it's cheap as dirt.

I don’t think sugar is physically addictive, as in your body gets negative physiological symptoms from cutting back.

True, I misread the comment, although for someone consuming a lot of sugar quitting cold-turkey is going to be uncomfortable physically.
