NO EVIDENCE MARIJUANA PROVEN TO BE ADDICTIVE

Re: "'Proof is out there about harm from marijuana' ( Daily News, Dec. 3)

Madeline Bruce forgot to mention that the people with this biology 
practically all get some form of adult psychosis, and not just the 
percentage, too small to mention, who smoked marijuana. Stay with the truth.

Unlike opiate pain killers where every user eventually becomes 
addicted, marijuana has never proved to be.

Unlike acetaminophen that has killed hundreds due to liver failure 
and not recommended for young children, marijuana has the distinction 
of not one death ever proven to be caused by its use. We know about 
alcohol addiction and have just hit the tip on caffeine.
