Marijuana can absolutely be addictive and ruin lives just as thoroughly as chemical addictions can. Addiction is far more than detox symptoms. People dismiss marijuana because a lot of people are able to use it without negatively impacting their lives, and it is normalized. I've worked with people who this is not the case for, however, and it can be absolutely ruinous.
One thing I've noticed about addicts (not saying you are one) is that they have a tendency to want to believe they are alone in the depth of their problem and noone else has been where they are. Crack addicts, alcoholics, oxycontin, etc. all think theirs is the worst problem for various reasons.
