I have read it in various places. Don't have any sources handy to link to at this time but will search them out when time permits.

As someone who smokes cigarettes and someone who smoked a lot of pot in college, my personal experience would lead me to believe the stuff I have read that there is no nicotine in pot. If there is, the amount is so minute as to not matter.

Nicotine is HIGHLY addictive and if pot had nicotine even approaching that of cigarettes it would be as addictive as cigarettes. And pot is not addictive. At least not in the physical way that nicotine and other drugs are. Mentally addictive? For some, yes. But not physically addictive.

Whens the last time you saw pot heads needing to take a 'toke break' every hour at the office? Now how often do you see smokers taking 'smoke breaks' at the office?

Aw, now Phantom you know that's not an argument. How many people have you known that started their day with pot, got high at lunch, had their "4:30 buzz," and then ended their day getting high "to help them sleep?" It might not be physically addictive, but it's sure as hell psychologically addictive!
