Gnizmo is pointing out that marijuana itself is not addictive. The psychological addiction one has for marijuana comes from yourself, not the plant. It's the same thing as a video game or televesion addiction or anything else on this beautiful planet.

Well, few things that we consider addictive are physicaly addictive. Gambling isn't physicaly addictive, and I don't think nicotine is either.
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.
