Nothing in your life has meaning, but at least marijuana gives you a time to relax and enjoy. When your self-value is low, you literally get a crush on the one thing that makes you happy - marijuana - and that's how you get addicted.

Addiction occurs the same way with religions, Internet, reading, alcohol, TV, or even those people that love excessively (as in, get crazy about people they love).

Once you're addicted, marijuana is something you'd waste your well-earned money in.

That said, it's important to acknowledge that there are many "good" marijuana smokers out there - people who use it non-problematically.
Well said.
