There was an extensive documentary on TV a couple months ago that covered a lot of the issues, and I think they did it fairly. As an example, I have heard MANY times that marijuana is not addictive. This show said it is addictive in fewer than 10% (I think that's the number - I'm old and it was a while ago that I saw the show) of users. So there IS a possibility of addiction. However, for those people like my ex-husband, truly if it's not one thing it will be another. Alcohol, weed, video games, gambling, those people will find their vice.
I don't get the appeal of hanging around, doing nothing, getting baked, but for the majority of people (as stated by the 10% addiction rate) will use it as entertainment along the ideas of drinking and video game playing and that's it.
Anyway, if you want to learn more about the broader issue, I'd see if you can find it on Netflix or something. It was on CNN and was kind of a big deal because it was the one where Sanjay Gupta reversed his position.
