I can say the carer is a junkie.. a fine for possessing marijuana is all it takes. There are no degrees of junkieism.. one is, or one isn't, and if you are in the unfortunate position of being found to possess an illegal amount , then the title of junkie is entirely appropriate..
So. junkie, it is..
Like JaneSA, I don't think of a person with a marijuana habit as a junkie; that's a term I'd reserve for a heroin addict. Googling the definition of "junkie", I find most sources only require addiction to "a drug" to qualify as a junkie, and comparatively fewer specify "usually heroin". I'd have been wrong if I pulled you up on it, but I'm not alone in not considering a marijuana user to be a junkie.
"Pothead" would have been my choice of descriptor
