The jury is still out as to whether cannabis is actually addictive. All of the evidence thus far indicates that there is no development of physiogical addiction, it is still a matter of debate whether there is psychological dependence.

Your comment raises an interesting question. I may have misinterpreted what you are saying, but there appears to be a focus on the problem of addiction being a problem in and off itself. I would say it is arguable whether an addiction per se is necessarily a bad thing.
