Some research and statistics show that approximately 9% of marijuana users will become dependent. Do you think this is accurate?

Marijuana is not physically addictive - it is only psychologically addictive so these figures are inaccurate
I do not believe that marijuana dependence/addiction is possible
I believe that more research is needed before accurate marijuana addiction statistics can be developed
The rates of marijuana dependence are probably much lower
The rates of marijuana dependence are probably much higher
Seems about right to me
