There is nothing to ignore. A psychological addiction is no where near physical addiction. Psychological addiction does not require a source for the addiction rather the other way around while physical addiction is CAUSED by the source which in turn affects the body.
Your argument is lame because everything we DO is an addiction and it is different for everyone. Any repeative behaviour can be classified as an addiction whether it be working, eating, speeding, sleeping, etc. The only difference is that these behaviour based addictions have no physical hold on a persons body, only the mind.
Compare this with the drugs and alcohol that may start out as behaviour based addictions that can quickly escalate into an actual NEED based addiction because your BODY not your MIND becomes severly dependant on. If these sources are removed your body revolts violently and the onset of withdrawal begins and in some cases can be fatal.
In short the only way to be addicted to marijuana is the already present psychological deficiency in a person with an addictive personality disorder which IS NOT physically harmful or destructive. It is the addictive personality disorder itself that is harmful NOT the marijuana.
