I don't think THC is addicting. One can get high daily for a while, then stop (well, you can run out, you know?), and there's no "withdrawal." One might think "Gee, I wish I had some," but that's about it.
After smoking 4-5…sometimes 6x day for 3 years — it took a LONG time for my mind to get into a better place. Individual results may vary.
I notice this with my cousin. She seems somewhat normal and then after a few gummies she changes. Her voice, she repeats herself, she doesn’t make sense sometimes.
Your cousin is just stoned.
Think about it this way:
When people are drinking alcohol, before they get stoned, they sound somewhat normal, but when they have drank enough to be stoned their voices change, they repeat themselves. and don't make any sense.
Practically the same diff.
About the addiction and personality change question you had. There is a certain part of the population that could become dependent on THC but I don't think it is as addicting as alcohol. Depending on the crop of MJ (different soils, fertilizer, length of exposure to light, genetic differences in the seed varieties) and the frame of mind of the toker at the time, a person might want to lay around on the couch for hours, or they can catch a buzz that has them bustling around cleaning house, washing the car, sorting out the garage etc.

You literally answered your own question.
In case you didn't catch it, the answer is a resounding 'no'.

Yep, and because humans are unique some will become aggressive from withdrawal.
legalizing marijuana and cannabis for all is NOT a marvelous thing. (wrong way drivers, duis, aggressive behavior). The mellow or chill out effect is exaggerated because one size does not fit all.
Just as the internet is not a marvelous thing 100%. Why not? sex trafficking, porn, AirBnb crimes, Craigslist crimes, cybertheft, cyberbullies, social media, drugs There's literally hundreds to list.
- Initially great for education and information but once businesses were allowed, corruption and criminal use soon followed. Today we have fake facts and social media influencers. You don't know what is true about THC, marijuana or details about how the studies were conducted.

Some people, maybe most. But others, yes can become fiendish about it, and in that way quite addicted. I've had a knife pulled on me (a little pocket knife but still) because someone thought I stole their weed. Otherwise an average stoner guy but needed his weed THAT bad, and he was angry and paranoid -I did not take his precious weed. I've seen fights and threats and nastiness over weed and this was back when it was not as potent.
I've lost friends that totally changed when they became stoners. They smoked every day any chance they got then dabbled in other drugs but it was weed all the way. They really changed, even though they were functional, the weed was always somewhere on their mind as something they needed to be part of their daily life, like a cell phone.

You seem to be confusing legalization with use. The two aren't necessarily connected, and time/laws haven't really proven the latter increases with the former... in fact some sources point to the opposite, as a "lost the magic" effect of something becoming less taboo.
And laws against DUII still exist and apply the same as they did before cannabis was legalized anywhere, so that's a moot point. Also, it hasn't been legalized for ALL even here in California. You still need to be 21 and show ID to purchase cannabis products in a dispensary.

As poster GoAmericaGo posted below this quoted post,
Chronic users become psychologically dependent or say "addicted" but not physiologically, according to what I've read.
I take sativa edibles about 8-10 times per year about 3 hours before when I'm no socializing, so for me it's a rare thing.
Weed has never suited my biochemistry.
Like anything, chromic use over the decades does show some negative effects.
I haven't noticed any change. We have an mj brownie before bed every night but I rarely notice any effect except lovely, uninterrupted sleep.
I thought it didn't help with pain, but on this little trip, I didn't bring any on the plane and my arthritic shoulders are aching at night besides having sleep deprivation. So I guess it does help with pain.
No personality changes that I can tell. I would kind of like to experience some kind of high, but never do.

This is typical of people ingesting THC, though few seem to recognize it.
