Marijuana doesn't even diverse to be on this list because physical addiction is very rare and people can be mentally addicted to anything. Marijuana should really be at the very bottom of this list. especially when you consider that marijuana ,unlike most drugs, has health benefits that a lot of people could use to improve there quality of life... but are government isn't really interested in are quality of life... there more interesting in making money. Making marijuana illegal makes them more money than if it was legal. So it has nothing to do with the health risks because aren't really any. Lets look at nicotine for a minute ... totally legal to those over the age of 18. 1 in 5 deaths in america are caused by smoking cigarettes and the average smoker lives 14 years less than none smokers. now let see... Not a single case of death ever recorded in the United States, or even the world has been attributed to the use of marijuana. so there not keeping it from you cause it will hurt you it all just comes down to money.

From recent research I heard it has been classified the most addictive substance. The reason is because of the synthetic compounds and how the brain interacts. It also has the longest withdrawal symptoms lasting up to 6 months. This is only used as a substitute for heroin addicted users in treatment programs. It is the last resort in treatment. On another note nicotine has a dual active nature and that is why it is so addictive. It serves as an upper and downer. I was very surprised to see that methadone was not on this list.

I'll say it so blatantly because it is. Methamphetamine is by FAR more addictive when you inject it, then less so if you take it orally, then less so if you snort it, then the least addictive when smoked because it's least powerful in this form. What crap it's all the same drug no matter how you take it, some methods are stronger than the others, I've listed them in order strongest to weakest. And heroin MUST be the second most addictive.

I'm 16 at the moment and both of my parents are addicted to your second most addictive drug Methamphetamine, smoked.... It's ruined my life. I don't have a mother nor a father due to the fact they cared more about their drugs than me. Lucky for me I was able to move in with my grandma... both my parents are in prison. The sad fact of the matter is, Neither one of my parents tried Meth until about five years ago, now when I look at they I cant even tell who they are. Their faces are scared, their teeth are falling out, their minds circuited towards their only want in this world; they only want the high they received their first time, and they will never get it. Thanks a lot for helping me understand why my life is ruined, drugs are bad, I guess I can only learn from their mistakes. Hey, there; just wanted to drop in with a little experience.
