I don't freak out or anything when I have to do something and have no smizzie. Marijuana is NOT addicting. Smoking a bowl or joint is cool, but I'm fine without it. I get bitchy. We all know alcohol is addicting, and IT'S legal.
Some people have addictive personalities.
What I'm trying to say is that the world is full of all kinds of people. Making broad generalizations is only closing your mind and turning you into a robot. Although marijuana, when used to intoxication, does impair performance in a manner similar to alcohol, actual studies of the effect of marijuana on the automobile accident rate suggest that it poses LESS of a hazard than alcohol. In other words, the number of accident victims intoxicated on marijuana relative to the number of marijuana users in society gave a ratio similar to that for accident victims intoxicated on alcohol relative to the total number of alcohol users. For people only intoxicated on marijuana, the rate was much lower than for alcohol alone.
