I find addiction to be very interesting.
I think all drugs are addicting but its important to distguish between the different types of addictions.
Imo, addiction really comes down to either physical dependence and/or psychological dependence on the drug itself. Some drugs will make you more physically dependent than others because of the withdrawl symptoms that they have to offer.
Like for example, quitting heroine may cause people to experience convulsions, vomitting, cramps, etc...So, in order to avoid these symptoms, people will revert back to using the drug and thus becoming more physically addicted to it that way.
In the case of weed, I don't think it has withdrawl symptoms/effects to the extent of other drugs. The reason why it seems addicting probably has to due more with psychological dependence. People may engage in the drug in order to satisfy those intense mental and emotional craving for the drug.
