Marijuana is not very addictive. The drug is less physically addicting than even caffeine. In the year 2000 marijuana was the primary drug of abuse in about 15 percent (236,638) of all admissions to treatment facilities in the United States. This statistic is misleading however. Many people caught using marijuana are given a choice in court of either going to rehab or facing more serious penalties, so many people chose to go to rehab even though they weren't really drug addicts.

What is the level of addiction on cannabis?

Studies on this subject vary, but the majority place the developed dependency rate of marijuana users at between 10 and 30 percent with eventual addiction rates up to 10 percent. The addiction rate is smaller than most of the harder drugs falling in at a little bit less than that of alcohol. Two factors that are not considered in current studies are the continuously growing psychoactive potency of new strains and the increased usage and acceptance facilitated by the legalization movement. While advocates of marijuana use highlight the relatively less addictive nature of marijuana, the fact remains they are promoting a behavior that is just less likely to lead to an addiction, decreased IQ, and long term legal and life issues.
