It may not, but alcohol does and it is legal. The point is that abolition didn't work in the past, and pot being illegal has only served to send people to jail who should have been in treatment facilities. And, since being incarcerated often destroys a life, bans on pot have probably caused more crime than it has prevented.

If they should have been in treatment facilities that should indicate that the substance itself is addicting am I correct in the assumption? There are several potheads in this discussion that claim that pot is not.

Point being: It is the law of the land not to do it. Hence you ought to abide by it until it is changed and your choice of drug (alcohol, nicotine, pot, lsd or whatever else) is legalized.
