It's said to not be physically addictive, but mentally. Anyone who smokes regularly or has a circle of friends that do, knows that it's something that they look forward to..it's on the mind often. That signifies an attachment. People are addicted to many things..soda, coffee etc. I see nothing wrong with irregular use, but personally I even had to stop that. The experience began going in the opposite direction..I could feel separation in others, felt very insecure, I would become paranoid about things I said or did recently.
To put it in perspective (perhaps)...
I've gotten high from mj possibly 10-15 times in my life. To say that I'm not really familiar with the drug would be an understatement. I've had various powerful experiences many of the times. The things that I've learned during the few times that I've smoked them have been profound, and I feel that there are very many powerful lessons that can easily be 'unlocked' through this substance. Our desires lead us towards our lessons. We shouldn't necessarily deny our desires, but we should understand them. This is why free will is such a powerful tool for soul growth.
