I have no scientific proof of this, but my daughter -- who has now been "sober" for going on three years -- will tell you that her addiction(s) started with smoking marijuana. She will also freely admit that she has an addictive personality much like an alcoholic. I think most of the kids in her rehab program would tell you the same thing.
My guess is that whether pot/weed/grass is addictive depends on the user.
If nothing else, I believe that the "thrill" of doing something "illegal" can make it more likely to move on to more dangerous experimentation. Kinda like having a fake ID and drinking beer was a catalyst in moving on to drinking hard liquor for me.
Edited to add:
Krazy,
If you expect anyone to take anything you write seriously, why not back off the "know it all" attitude. You've made a number of generalities in posts on a number of threads that you can't back up with any facts. Or do you want people to blow off your comments and opinions because of your style of rhetoric?
