There aren't any known addictive chemicals in marijuana. The main active chemical is called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (usually referred to as THC, and is not addictive.) An increase of potency is obtained through better growing environments or through growing strains which are genetically geared toward producing more THC. Marijuana can also be refined into hashish, which is better for smoking (although more illegal) since less smoke must be inhaled to obtain the same effect as unrefined marijuana.
