But that wasn't the argument. The argument is if weed is addictive. I brought up cigarettes because it's a fact that nicotine is addictive. I merely ask what chemical in marijuana has an addictive characteristic.

The difference between alcohol and weed is that someone can have a drink or two, and not be impaired, or they can keep going and get wasted. No ones going to smoke "a little bit."

Alcoholism has been linked to being a genetic disorder. I know people that can't get out of bed without having a beer...I know people that brush their teeth while having a beer...it's no different than what you're trying to blame weed on.
Also, you don't know anyone that's slightly impaired after only 2 drinks? You're kidding right? I guess all of your friends are seasoned drinking veterans lol. No one smokes a little bit? A few of my friends will smoke on occasion, take a few hits and be done....not to the point of being high as a kite. I don't see where you're getting your info from, you're taking the most extreme cases and trying to pass them off as the norm.
Both alcohol and weed will impair you but to say that smokers always smoke to the point where they're super high is ignorant(no offense). The IQ of the country would plummet? Right...and I'm sure the scumbag, worthless alcoholics in this country really prop up the number.
Does anyone have any type of polls and research data on Amsterdam when marijuana became legal? I'm curious to see if there was an increase of crime, motor vehicle accidents, increased number of hospital cases involving marijuana etc.
