actually, THC, the stuff which gives the user a high, is NOT addictive at all..
in fact, THC has been used to treat HIV sufferers... HIV sufferers have to take a whole lot of pills and that makes them feel nauseous and they lose their appetite.. this loss of appetite causes them to not eat and lose their strength... this makes them waste away...
THC in the form of "medical marijuana" kicks in the appetite (potheads call it "the munchies" ) and allows the HIV positive people to eat and be strong...
the fact of the matter is that marijuana was banned in the US (and subsequently everywhere else) because the plant is from the HEMP family...
hemp is a superior fibre to cotton...
and what did the southern regions of the US grow then?
COTTON!
in order that these cotton plantations do not face competition from the superior hemp fibre, they lobbied against hemp, using the "evil high" of THC as an excuse...
and so, Marijuana was banned...
Marijuana is banned in the US such that it is classified as "totally useless" whereas other narcotic plants such as Poppy and Coca are classified differently as "Limited Medicinal Uses"

btw, it's also impossible to die from a THC overdose from smoking cannabis...
you'd die from carbon monoxide poisoning first
that being said, it's still illegal... just thought we should be informed of the truth behind the bans rather than listen to the nonsense being sprouted by the uninformed

Kids and Marijuana: Not a Harmless High?
Users say it makes them mellow. Proponents of legalization say it's okay to smoke. Doctors warn of its harmful effects. Researchers say that in the past decade, the number of 8th graders who have used it has doubled.
The debate about marijuana continues, but there is one point that everyone generally agrees on - kids should stay away from the drug.
"There are many popular myths about the so-called harmlessness of marijuana, but we know from research that marijuana use is risky for teens at a crucial time in their lives," said John P. Walters, Director of National Drug Control Policy.
One common myth is that the drug is safe. Marijuana puts kids at risk. It's harmful to young bodies and minds that are still developing. Marijuana affects the brain and can impair mental health, leading to increased depression and anxiety. And some health risks associated with smoking marijuana are similar to those posed by tobacco.
Kids who use marijuana regularly show a decrease in academic achievement. Even short-term marijuana use has been proven to cause problems with memory, learning, cognitive development and problem solving.
Recent research also shows that kids who use marijuana weekly are more likely to get in trouble with the law, struggle in school, have delinquent friends, engage in unsafe sex and end up in risky and dangerous situations.
Drugged driving is another danger. One roadside study of reckless drivers who were not impaired by alcohol showed that 45 percent tested positive for marijuana.
It's also a myth that marijuana is not addictive. Marijuana sends more teens into treatment than any other illicit drug. Sixty percent of teens currently in drug treatment are there because of marijuana. According to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, of all the people entering treatment for marijuana in 1999, more than half (57 percent) first used the drug by the age of 14.
Parents can help kids by countering the folklore on marijuana with real examples of how marijuana can put their futures at risk. Studies show that parents are the single most powerful influence in their children's lives. Parents who are involved and talk to their kids about drugs are less likely to have kids who use drugs.

well, they believe it to be so.. maybe psychological addiction.. which is different from physical addiction...
for the lowdown on the truth, click here => The Research on Marijuana Safety
well, there was a look by a disinterested party into the "research" and found that independent research found "no addiction" and those which are funded by organisations with vested interests, found "results" which are skewed towards the organisations' stands
so, do think about this...Originally posted by TehJarVu:Catholic Monthly says that "it is a myth that marijuana is not addictive".
