It is impossible to actually become addicted to marijuana. You need a physical cause to have a true addiction and there is no such chemical in marijuana. You can be psychologically addicted to anything, so its hard to use it against any specific drug. |
Addictions can be physical, mental, or a combination of both.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
