Certainly, and they are as destructive, but the treatments are different and reasoning for continued use is different.
No one is physically addicted to gambling or stealing either but no one sane argues that they are valid addictions.
Marijuana cannot be classed with schedule 1 drugs or treated like them by anyone with half a brain. It is just politics and nothing more.
