First, The New York Times ran an alarming, anecdotal scare story [8] about marijuana addiction in which they tracked down a couple people who weren't happy with their lives and gave them a forum in which to blame all their problems on marijuana.
Then, The Times invited 5 experts [9] to debate the subject and, shockingly, they all seem to agree that marijuana addiction is overblown and our policies should be changed to reduce penalties for marijuana use.
It's getting harder and harder to find anyone who actually knows anything about marijuana and yet still believes people should be punished for using it.
