Be careful...a key component of addiction is rationalization of addictive behaviors; carefully look at all the evidence presented (or lack of evidence...just because something didn't get tested doesn't mean it can't have other adverse effects that aren't known particularly over the long run). I don't know about you, but when reading these things plus seeing the effects of chronic marijuana users personally, my personal view would be to stay away until more is known/tested.
