Yeah, that's exactly my point.  The physical addiction of beer takes a LONG time, with a lot of abuse.  I'm talking about compairing addictions among casual users.

There are also significant questions of what the long term effects of Marijuana would be if it was abused to the same level over the same timeframe as someone who develops a significant physical addiction to a substance like alcohol. There have been studies that indicate that how Marijuana alters brain chemistry it might have an impact on depression, anxiety and paranoia; while this might have a very limited effect for a recreational user who only experimented for a short period of their life, for someone who regularly uses marijuana for decades it could have a significant effect.
