This discussion has been enlightening with many points well articulated and heartfelt comments shared.
The most addictive drug (and perhaps one of the most dangerous overall) is nicotine. I haven't looked at the stats recently, but isn't about one-third of the population at any given time addicted to nicotine? Alcohol rounds out the most popular drug category unless one wants to consider caffeine. The number of lives corrupted by hard drugs is tiny in comparison to those affected by alcohol & nicotine. And friends, you probably know this but _ nicotine_ is the so-called gateway drug, not marijuana.
