Addiction and Legality
The relationship between a substance addiction potential and its legal status is a tried and troubled subject. Items such as tobacco and caffeine are notoriously addictive, while drugs such as marijuana or more far out hallucinogenic substances offer very little addictional potential, but remain steadfastly illegal. The subject of marijuana addiction is seeing somewhat of a surge in interest, perhaps as more people connect online and discuss it without the stigma of being outcaste from other smokers or used by anti-drug crusaders as well. The fact remains though that when someone speaks of a substance being illegal because it is addictive, you would be wise to step back and realize that addiction strangely plays a small role in the FDA making a drug illegal or legal. More often than not, money remains the number answer to this question, like so many others.
