Go for it, man. Personally, it's something that relaxes me and gets my creative juices flowing -- I write/compose songs under the influence, and I really like the way they come out.
However, do think about the repercussions: do you have a drug test coming up? After your first smoke, it'll take about a week of heavy water consumption to flush the THC from your system.
But if you don't have a drug test coming up and you can't think of a reason not to, I'd say go for it and enjoy the experience.
As for the addiction thing, the drug itself is not addictive -- the experience is. Being high/stoned/baked/lit is something I love the feeling of, and I think that's what most people are addicted to. It's not a physical thing -- I'm a rather heavy smoker, and I've gone cold turkey for a couple weeks; the first few days were hard because it was weird being sober all the time, but afterwards I went back to my normal routine.
Most importantly, if you decide to pick it up as something to do recreationally, BE CAREFUL, and never let it get ahead of your priorities and responsibilities.
Happy smoking ^_^
