Well, I've seen more people become dependent with hash/pot than with alcohol. I'd say that's because it's much harder to be functional drunk than stoned.

There might not be physical cravings or withdrawal but when someone starts hitting the bong several times a day, all this talk about hard and soft drugs is bullshit. And once they want to stop, the biggest difference is that they don't have the excuse of being in pain physically.
