>> Dave, I have a friend in Austin who was busted for dealing weed, got a fantastic deal that gave him probation, but couldn't pass the drug tests because he couldn't not smoke weed - which isn't even that addicting. He's been a fugitive for over 20 years. He's harmed NO ONE in his entire life.

A lot of people have brain chemistry which will cause them to become dependent on anything. Those people are going to find something, no matter what. If it isn't booze it'll be marijuana. If it isn't marijuana it will be Benedryl (an absolutely non-addictive substance, but a lot of people use it as a sleep aid).

I have never in my life heard of anyone being injured by marijuana use other than by its status as an illegal drug. I'm sure someone, somewhere, has done something stupid and been injured in a car wreck which was blamed on marijuana but legitimate cases of the drug causing a car wreck or other serious accident have to be almost nonexistent.
