AV>Some day there may be a reliable study conclusively demonstrating that

AV>dopamine in the so-called "reward pathways" of the brain and that
AV>subjects suffered effects of physical withdrawal upon, for example, the
AV>administration of a blocking agent directly into the brain, I would
AV>agree that marijuana may be addictive rather than just habituative to
AV>*some* people.
Go to the nearest Narcotics Anonymous meeting and ask the real experts,
those who have made a conscious and painful decision to leave all mind
altering drugs alone.
Ask them what they know about the stuff.
