Psychological addiction /= physical addiction. Pot is not physically addictive. It falls in the same category as fast food, or the internet, or gambling, etc.

Moreover, I'm not entirely sure how it could get worse. When you prohibit some substance people like, a black market is created and soon becomes controlled by criminal syndicates. See, prohibition, the War on Drugs. This fuels more serious criminal activity than drug trafficing, as rival gangs compete for business. America imprisons a greater percentage of its population than any other country, disproportionately from historically unprivileged groups.

Legalizing, regulating and taxing marijuana (hint: it would still be illegal for people under 18/21) would not only be a start to ending the War on Drugs, which has had massive negative consequences, but would be an excellent source of revenue for the government (which needs money at the moment).

There is tons of literature on the War on Drugs and marijuana specifically, and the majority of it, from authors liberal, conservative and elsewhere, from policy wonks and medical researchers, is in favor of legalizing pot. Try reading up on it.

When you prohibit some substance people like, a black market is created and soon becomes controlled by criminal syndicates.

For example, the mafia exploding into the limelight during prohibition. Come on, y'all, let's not forget Al Capone.

When did I say they were psychologically addicted? To my knowledge you don't know them personally, anon.

And I've heard all those arguments before and still my opinion remains the same: unless it's used for much-needed medical purposes, then no.

There is also tons of literature against it. I've read up on both.

Your original post came across as more "I knew some douchebag stoners in HS", not "I've researched the issue and here is what and why I believe as I do". Because we've all known douchebag stoners in HS, and strangely enough the ones I knew straightened out their lives and are, on average, doing better than most of the other people in HS who I keep up with (especially the alcoholics, who are doing worse).

Why are much-needed medical purposes okay?

Are you honestly asking why something being used for legitimate medical purposes is better than using it for irresponsible recreation?

Not for myself, no. I assume you mean the same thing as making a distinction between getting a morphine drip in the hospital and snorting heroin because you want to snort it.

But I wasn't sure how you made such a clear distinction when it came to pot, which I didn't think was prescribed quite that directly. (And there could certainly be some overlap between producers linked to crime and suppliers to medical facilities.) If someone gets addicted to pain killers, for instance, there's a grey area between the medical purpose they originally served and the addiction.
