Addiction is a subjective thang. There are physically addicting drugs like
the dreaded cocaine and heroin and everyone's fav. alcohol. Once addicted,
one's body craves the drug and goes through withdrawal when it does not get
it (in time).

Then there's the "would be" psychologically addicting drugs like marijuana
etc. Ones body does not crave it like w/ coke, but one's mind just may.....
However, even w/ this type of drug there are withdrawal symptoms, such as
loss of sleep or irritability etc.

In America the drug of choice is alcohol. Over 70% of all Americans drink
alcohol. Some even believe it's their God given right to get hammered
whenever they want.

Alcohol is socially acceptable. Smoking marijuana is not.

Yet, alcohol abuse statistically causes more trouble in numerous ways than
marijuana use. (American)society can be backwards.

Cigarettes are the number 2 choice to alcohol, but not nearly as socially
acceptable. Yet, the fallback rate for people that attempt to quit this very
addicting drug called nicotine is greater than the fallback rate to those
that attempt to kick heroin. Availability may also be a factor. Once again,
(American)society can be backwards.
