Magickal Addiction Options

I'm not sure exactly where this topic should fit in, so if you can think of a better place for it feel free to move it. I know that a lot of writers and directors use magick as a metaphor for drugs (Joss Whedon comes to mind) and I was wondering what your thoughts were on addiction to magick. Do you think that people can actually get mentally addicted to using magick? And, if so, have you had any experiences either directly or indirectly

I can see how someone starting out, ie a low constitution, would be more susceptible to getting caught in magick. However, constitution isn't immunity, and someone more experienced still has a limit. What do you think the effects would be of someone strong enough to use powerful magick using too much of it? Do you think it just wouldn't work due to their natural barriers, or do you think it would have an effect on them or anyone else?
