Here's the thing: strains matter. They matter a lot. Time of day matters too.
If I need to sleep, I take a very sedative Indica with a THC % higher than 20%. (This puts you into couch-lock really quick if you take it during the day and would not be something I would ingested if I had to get a lot of stuff done.)
If I need pain relief during the day or need to elevate my mood or energy level, I would take an energizing Sativa or a hybrid with Sativa dominance that has a very high CBD content. These strains generally produce no psychoactive effect. They are great for daytime or any time you may need a little help, but don't wish to have a "head high".
I think customization is the key.
The 9% you'll find have reasons they're using cannabis. They're not 'addicted' they're pursuing relief.
"Addiction" information is changing. There are no 'Addictive Personalities,' there are only people seeking relief for their issues. The problem is there are a variety of issues people are relieving with cannabis, when they're not aware of the issue themselves.
I completely agree. I have never met a cannabis user who isn't using it medically. Even the people who report using it for recreation are treating an endocannabinoid deficiency and will list all the direct positive effects they notice, when asked what the herb does for them. Statistically 9% is cited but I think that % is still not accurate and is higher than it should be, if it even exists at all.
Take time for self reflection. Broaden your awareness about yourself and you'll find issues cannabis is alleviating for you. When you have zero issues, your use drops to 'social' levels, rare occasions.
(Edit: I have autism and physical pain, so use it constantly)
Cannabis effects every cell in the body and there are strong arguments which point toward ALL cannabis use being medicinal. :)
Look for functional strains of cannabis.
AC/DC, Sour Tsunami, Canna-Tsu and others. No memory issues, no fogged brain, just good cannabis and improved you.
Even if cannabis is being used recreationally, it is a super-food and a medicine. Most people who use it have some level of endocannabinoid system deficiency. When we ingest it, we are correcting the deficiency with the canabinoids contained within the buds of the plant. These can be smoked, vaped, eaten or applied topically in the form of a salve.

I have read, (in many articles and papers on the topic of cannabis addiction), that 9% of all cannabis users develop an addiction.

BINGO!
You can have two types of addictions but eitherway I'm not sure I am an addict, I simply like to do it besides the consecuences, whichever they are.

I'm not saying cannabis doesn't make me feel better about stuff, I enjoy it a lot.
I think it depends mostly on the availability of it. Since I started growing it I smoke it everyday.

You Need to Get Educated
Cannabis information has come a long way and what rebeccaryan posted is correct. What she's talking about are not 'claims,' they're called facts.
Look them up, it's a whole new world out there. :)
Lol, look I like weed, I promote weed but your claims have no fundaments.
