Thanks for informing me. But why don't you try a better defense and support of your claim that goes against all current scientific data on the subject, rather than bang on about nicotine. Go on. Have a go. Cite a few research papers. Show me your workings.

Please cite your research papers and show us your workings to support your claim.

Sure. Obviously the below papers, which is about 0.00001% of research on this subject are wrong cos 'marijuana isnt addictive man'. This dude oricha says so. And so do you. In fact the below papers are *sotto Otto The Bus Driver* 'a conspiracy man, no doubt paid for by the alcohol industry and the government cos they scared dude, they scared of the weed man, no more wars, world peace, everyone needs to blaze a fatty, yeah dude.'

You could combine all of these findings, add a five dollar bill and go get yourself a pre roll at one of your favorite dispensaries.

Marijuana is addictive.

Doesn't mean it shouldn't be legal - it should be legal.
