Firstly, addictiveness in all it's glory, it was hardly the point of what I wrote. Not to mention that addictivness is just 1 of the many factors that must be accounted for. Secondly, if you know anything about history you know why alcohol and tobacco is still legal. It is by far harder to cancel the legality of a substance when half the bloody world is using it, as the prohibition fiasco showed us. You don't go stupid from ciggarettes, but you will from pot and that's not even debatable if you got experience, like I've already described.
And finaly, about facts pulled from ones merry behind:
"3) Tobacco is a mind altering drug. It was previously used to induce hallucinations in the indigenous peoples." This is most likely incorrect and at least incredibly biased. Sure it has a certain soothing effect, but hell if you trip on it. Shamanistic methods that induce hallucinations always have more than tobacco to it. They use peyote cactuses, mushrooms or other fun stuff. Did I do odd stuff after a smoke during the 8 years I used tobacco? No, no I do not. Drunk I might beat someone for reasons that would not bother me sober in the slightest. Pot, the good stuff that is, might get you into some very messed up and disturbing thought patterns, lets just leave it at that.
This topic was not really about this, so I shall digress no further.
