The Great Debate: Is Marijuana Addictive?

Marijuana ranked number one in a recent article on the top five most commonly abused prescription drugs used by post 50s. According to a 2011 report from The National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 3 million adults older than 50 have illegally used the drug and "out of 4.8 million older adults who used illicit drugs, marijuana use was more common than non-medical use of prescription medicines among the 50-to-59 age range."

This led to cries of distinguishing between "addiction" and "dependency," with many readers claiming marijuana isn't actually addictive at all. So Huff/Post50 asked some professionals to weigh in on the matter.
