i'm afraid that that link just typifies the stereotypical hysteria that accompanies any prominent members of society - who are clueless. and the masses follow.

i never said it wasn't addictive but that particular addiction is purely psychological, marijuana has been scientifically (in this country at least) proven to not be physically addictive. any physical addiction in this regard stems solely from the tobacco it's smoked with - nicotine addiction.

consumption inadvertantly goes too far? i refer you to addictive personalities, there are far more dangerous ways that people enjoy life than using drugs. i've tried many things and there's many more i would like to try, and in my decades of experimentation i have not once been led onto 'something stronger'.

what if the ends an individual seeks is to be stoned? there are no other ways to achieve that except to get stoned. don't think i'm saying "hey drugs are awesome, do as many as you can.", i most assuredly am not because while i use i have also abused, and trust me, there is a huge difference. while i will always advocate the legalization, or at the least decriminalization, of all drugs, i fully respect peoples opinions to the contrary.

it produces smoke....well, yeah. as does every petrol, diesel or hybrid car on earth. anyone who owns and drives such vehicles can't take that path of morality. vehicles cause an unparalleled degree of damage, to humans and the environment, and that's simply in their manufacture, let alone actual fuel pollution. human deaths caused by vehicles, either from traffic accidents or from their carcinogenic emissions, number more that deaths caused by all illegal drugs combined.

have you ever seen someone who hasn't had their "morning coffee"? pale, cold, trembling? that is caffiene withdrawl and works exactly the same as heroin withdrawl, only much, much quicker.

by the way, what's you're opinion on alcohol?

and incidentally, marijuana has been, and is continuing to be, proven to relieve the symptoms of many ailments, far more effectively and safely, than pharmaceuticals.
