Could Smoking Poppers Cause Addiction?

Hey, is it possible to become addicted or dependant on poppers (weed mixed with the inside of a cigarette)? I m wondering because there is nicotene in cigarettes which is very addictive so that mixed with the high can make it slightly addictive? I ve been smoking marijuana for 3 years now, 2 of which I ve been smoking pretty heavily. Almost every day, or if I missed a couple days I would binge on the weekend. I only recently started smoking poppers, is it possible that I am dependant on weed?

Hi,

Yes, both marijuana and tobacco cause dependence. People can become dependent on either of the two and have difficulty in quitting these. Poppers are highly addictive because the high is more. Please be careful.

Best wishes.
