   Marijuana is not very addictive, but denying the small number of users do get   
   addicted is denying reality. Smoking marijuana damages lungs and can cause   
   cancer. Claiming marijuana has no risks is as silly as claiming it is a killer   
   drug.   
      
   Realistically marijuana is the safest recreational drug, and far less damaging   
   than the penalties against it. But it is not without any risk.   
      
   Humans require sugar: your brain doesn't metabolise amino acids. Even if you   
   eat   
   only protein, your liver will convert amino acids into sugar to maintain blood   
   glucose. Your body doesn't need marijuana, caffeine, alcohol, etc to survive.   
   It   
   does need sugar, water, oxygen, protein, and traces of a few other things.
