JANE KELLEY was thinking about Marijuana & Addicti [1/3 and keyed into 
cyberspace:
JK>MP>JK>I've told you several times to go look it up in the official
JK>MP>JK>manual of mental health in this nation, the DSM IV.
JK>MP>Jane, the degree of "addictiveness" of any substance is NOT cited
JK>MP>in either the DSM III or IV. That is not the function of the DSM.
JK>HAVE YOU GONE AND LOOKED ANYTHING UP LATELY?  Had you done so, you
JK>would know that cocaine is now listed as being addictive, that the
JK>symptoms of addiction to various drugs are also listed, and that
JK>among those are the information concerning marijuana.
Jane, re-read VERY carefully what I carefully wrote. Do you understand 
what I was referring to? I'll use small words.
You were talking about marijuana being addictive, etc. You were saying 
just how addictive it was. THen you referred to the DSM IV. 
THe DSM IV does not say how addictive something is. However, the 
****degree*** of addictiveness is not in the DSM. 
You you looked, you would see that it does not say that crack cocaine is 
more addictive than regular cocaine, or that marijuana is more addictive 
than tobacco. It does not address the degree of addictiveness.
If you still feel it does, give me a page reference, I will read it, and 
humbly apologize.

How did your mail reader know that is our wish?
