One of your readers wrote, "Even though it's not physically addicting, it can be very psychologically addicting, causing people to lose motivation and desire to do anything else."

Oh please. Wouldn't that apply to everything that is enjoyable? I'd much rather have sex with my wife, watch my son play hockey, play golf, ride a bike, read a book, play with my dog, eat ice cream, or read your blog than go to work, clean the house, or any of the other less desirable activities that daily life requires; yet I, and the vast majority of those around me seem to somehow be able to get on with our daily lives and responsibilities.

I unfortunately work for a company that drug tests, so I definitely do not partake. I did in high school, and to some extent in college. If it wasn't illegal, and I wouldn't get fired for it, I'd have a bong the size of a bazooka.
