Reply #9: and that needs to be taken in context as well. Marijuana is NOT physically addictive

[ixion]

it is only psychologically addictive. It is also non-lethal and non-toxic, which is not true for most of those items on the list. Marijuana's active ingredient: THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is actually a low-grade hallucinogen, rather than a barbiturate or stimulant or opiate, etc.


That is to say: You cannot overdose on pot. You cannot become physically addicted to pot.

This makes it one of the least harmful psychotropic substances out there. There is no way in hell that it should be illegal, IMO.
