One becomes addicted to something when the brain needs the chemicals it makes and stop producing the ones it makes related to the same "feeling" that makes the braing need the addictive stuff to be able to have that "feeling" it happens with alcohol, drugs, games,adrenaline and many things in life. When u need to use drugs to have fun or a "better" moment is that ur brain became acustomized to it and stoped using normal ways to feel "good" in that moment. I believe( without being a doctor) thats why addiction is treated like sickness.
Comming back to the real issue with this post:
i remember the alcohol ban in North america Make it ROSE the crimes dealing with alcohol related bussiness but the crimes related to the users when down... the bad thing is that the crimes dealing with the bussiness were WAY too high a lot bigger and more troublesome than thos related to the use. what ended up... stoping the ban.
Drug dealing may be like it may not. BUT i does makes more money than alcohol dealings and thats something we need to TAX and make legal, countries need the money being wasted fighting it and the money being lost because we arent Taxing it.

In the US, marijuana in my opinion should be legalized
Its better than tobacco (not by much but still better than cigs)
Medicinally it can be used for under weight people because (according to people I know who've done it, weed makes you hungry lazy and... that's about it)
And as mentioned in an ear
Its being used for cuisine too, those dished are expensive as hell because the plant needs lots of special permits for cultive.
