Also, the new game in law enforcment is to force some mairjuana law violators into drug treatment (you're given a choice of course, jail time/probation, or treatment). The numbers are inflated, then the Prohbitionists like to pont out that more people are going for treatment.

Again, how would you know?

Yup. I bet all kinds of lawyer lobbyists love WOD. More business for them too.

The American Psychiatric Association classifies marijuana as an addictive drug, one that can foster a dependency among users.

The American Psychiatric Association? The same American Psychiatric Association that makes millions every year treating this so called addiction? Follow the money...

The national Drug Enforcement Agency has determined that marijuana is a Schedule I illegal drug.

Based on the bogus studies done by the APA, no doubt. And don't forget this is the agency that profits through seizures of assets. Again...follow the money...

In many parts of the country, more people are admitted to treatment for marijuana dependence than for heroin.

Voluntary admission or forced into treatment? Are they including people who are arrested for cannabis offenses and then are given the chance of going into treatment as an alternative to prosecution, as well as workers who test positive for cannabis in random urine tests and opt for rehabilitation rather than being fired? It DOES make a difference.

Clearly, we can take from this that marijuana is, in fact, a dependence-fostering drug, a dependence that an increasing number of people are seeking help to address.

Clearly? Based on the twisted "facts" they presented above?
