Not remotely, people that do that are ignorant and should be ignored.

Depends on the individual, how and why they use it.
For me, I use it for medical benefit. Due to my pain level I do not get high off of it, so yes, for that absolutely. There are days that go by when I could not eat without it. It also reduces muscle spasms drastically for me and affects of nerve damage.

As for recreational use, it is very relaxing and fun and does not have the lasting negative affects that alcohol has. Between the two there is no choice IMO. Though this is no longer an option for me and I had long stopped using it for that when I became very ill, I never felt it was a bad thing.

As for the above statement, there is nothing in marijuana that is physically addictive. Some may become mentally dependent on it, but they would become so on something anyway.
