Change of position - All drugs should be legal

[Longhorn]

But that addiction is a psychological problem then, and not the fault of weed. It's beside the point.

Do you realize psychological dependencies are relevant, right? I mean, every drug can cause both physical and psychological dependency, it's just some drugs are more likely to cause one of those types. I have friends who smoke cigarettes on parties and don't become addicted, unlike what the average person would believe. I also have a friend who smokes pot everyday and cannot fuction properly without getting irritated, pissed and annoyed easily if she doens't smoke weed. To say this is not bad would be irrational. You're still getting your fix.

Yeah, but like you said at the end of your previous post: this is true for a wide range of substances and activities. Including food, sex and coke (I mean the drink). The question was what was is so inherently and specifically harmful about weed, so the problem you're talking about isn't really relevant.

And I agree, the example of your friend is one of an addiction. But she is not that way specifically and solely because of the properties of marijuana.
