Can anyone provide a definitive definition of a "ruined life"?
What difference does it make if marijuana is psychologically addictive or physically addictive, the point is it is highly addictive, whether you like it or not, and if you disagree with me, chances are you may be addicted to it, I suggest you try two weeks without pot, and then get back to me about how you felt no withdrawal symptoms when you quit for two weeks, sorry but that's not going to happen.
Now it all makes sense.....what really was behind the prohibition of the world's most useful plant?

If marijuana is categorized as psychologically addictive, why the hell would it give a person withdrawals, which are usually only found in something that is physically addictive?
If cold hard scientific data shows the potential for a substance (or part of the substance) to be beneficial in treating medical ailments, then something being "addictive" is usually only relevant when specifically treating a specific person. Otherwise we wouldn't routinely use opiate based pain medications. Or really any medication you could possibly think of.

Addiction is somewhat rare, but of course it can be addictive, given the right combination of environmental stimuli, genetic predispositions, mental illness, etc. Anything can be addictive.
Heroin and cocaine have much, much more potential for addiction than marijuana does.

What? Me worry?
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I have gone over forty years without partaking with absolutely no ill effects. To put it in perspective I was 19 when Woodstock happened, so there are a couple of years from that time period that are still a little hazy in my mind.
Sugar is addictive. Coffee is addictive. You won't see me advocating to make them illegal. Even though the affects both have when someone quits them are rather bad.
Being addictive is not grounds for making something illegal. We'd have to ban everything in existence otherwise.
More proof that cannabis is the way to beat opioid addiction.

Less videos and more scientific papers would be great.
And still it goes on. When are people going to wake up to what the orthodox medical system is up to with patients in Australia and other places where cannabis is still virtually illegal? Cannabis is supposed to be legal here now...but doctors are hesitant to prescribe it or to go through the difficult process of current red tape.
Why should a parent be arrested and charged for making a harmless medicine that is shown to be effective for his two daughters with Crohn's Disease? The orthodox medical route had been exhausted with no results.....he knew from his own research that cannabis could help...and it did. He was just juicing the leaves. There was no one getting 'high'.
Pain meds are the number 1 best seller for drug companies and treatments for all manner of illnesses require doctors to use their multiple drug therapy approach as a first response......side effects can be worse than the treatment...but so many ailments can be treated successfully with various forms of medicinal cannabis. There are no reported side effects. It should be the first port of call, not the last resort after jumping through so many ridiculous hoops....waiting months to even get approval.
When are doctors, who are educated in institutions funded by drug companies going to wake up?
This is the 21st century and 20th century medicine is still being practiced. Many doctors are not keeping up with the kinds of illnesses that people are presenting with today....such as auto-immune diseases, now so prevalent.
Cancer still robs people of their lives when cannabis has been shown to cure some cancers? And without the horrendous effects of chemo drugs. Why can't patients at least have the right to try these alternative therapies when everything else has failed, without waiting for governments and doctors to get their act together?
It is ridiculous!

This June medical marijuana goes to a vote of the people in Oklahoma. I hope we can pass it. I have friends that have to take their young daughter all the way to Colorado to be treated for her seizures with cannabis. It's the only thing that works.
It is unconscionable that this medicine has been proven time and again to help so many people (especially kids with intractable epilepsy) and no one has suffered any ill effects from it....yet they will peddle their poison like its candy and keep the real medicine that is harmless, out of reach.
If people were dropping like flies and the medicine didn't work for so many different illnesses, I could understand their reticence...but these people are living proof...they are the drug trial results...what more do they need?
