Marijuana is not begging to be smoked. It is not punishing users with cannabis-specific withdrawal symptoms. If you eat ice cream every day, that's a behavior problem, not an "ice cream addiction".
The help you receive should be about improving life balance, making better choices and moderating the desire to kick back in a haze of relaxation.

Obviously those who smoke weed, want to smoke weed. I thought my point was pretty clear.
Any "struggle" is with themselves and other factors in their life and routine. The noise and sharp edges of sober life in this modern world, is not everyone's cup of tea. Combine that with compulsion and impatience to "fix" (mask) that problem with a quick smoke, and you have substance abuse.
"Marijuana" or "ice cream" plays little part in a person's root issue in wanting to escape reality full time/delight their taste buds full time instead of the more commonly moderated occasional use.
Yes. It's about compulsive behavior.
