Like so many things, such as bad reality shows, I agree that marijuana is addictive on some level. Chemically...probably not. We would know about this and more violent crime would be linked to marijuana. However, I don't think any of us should underestimate the power of a psychological addiction. The mind and body exist as one. If any one part suffers, the other suffers as well. Likewise, if any one part is healthy, it is more likely that the other part is also healthy.

That being said, marijuana has both helped and hindered me. I liken it to coffee. Having a cup in the morning boosts my motivation and my productivity increases. Drinking it all day throughout the day steals my sleep and give me a stomach ache. Marijuana relieves stress and I can honestly say that I have a good time smoking it (especially with friends). If I smoke it ALL the time, it's not as fun. But hey, if you smoke all the time, I'm not judging you. I just think balance is important.
