I don't consider that an addiction, but if one was to light it up every day or every second day, it's more of a problem, than it's an enjoyment.

The same goes for every (mild) intoxicant out there , if it's under control and not a mis-use (don't even know if that's a word?) it's ok.

I know a girl with multiple sclerosis, who smokes a little more often than me, but thats an other thing. Her doctor recommended her to smoke marijuana every once in a while, to keep the illness in ave, and she's doing quite fine i think. It's not every day or every second day either. Her condition comes and goes in "waves" and so does her use of weed too, according to what she feels is necessary.

On the other hand, i've seen people giving into the world of drugs. Seen them go, seen them loose control and i've even seen some of them die because of this urge to hide their reality to them selves. Drugs should never be used to soothe this kind of pain, this "weltschmertz". At least not in my opinion, but that goes for illegal as well as for legal drugs.
