People sometimes don't know how to handle things. Marijuana is like alcohol in respect to it being able to be abused. However, between tobacco, alcohol, and MJ, MJ is the less harmful of the trio.

I've lost a cousin to drugs, but marijuana wasn't what got him started. I believe it was speed or cocaine. I also have another cousin who has lost her children and was forced into rehab because of crack. If I recall correctly, she never touched marijuana in her whole life. The thing of it is, it depends on the person. If you have an addictive personality, than odds are you will become addicted to it not because MJ is addictive, but because you've set yourself to be addicted to it mentally and psychologically.

Anyone in here smoke hookah?
