Please, TC Wheeler, if you want to argue that Marijuana is addictive,
don't cite Buddy Hackett as an expert witness.  

To then state further that "you can get all the tars in cigarettes from
grass" is just ridiculous.  The tars in cigarettes are of an entirely
different nature than the THC resins of marijuana and its derivatives.
Besides, it is not the tars in cigarettes which cause the addiction, it
is the nicotine.

If you wish to argue for a cocaine addiction, realize that it is a
psychological condition (no less deadly) rather than a physical one.
Cocaine simply does not change one's body chemistry the way that heroine
or alcohol does.

In defense of good argument, not drugs.
