Weed... Destroys lungs, causes lung cancer which is even more common than liver cancer... Even breathing in too much water vapor is bad for you. Converting ANYTHING to smoke and breathing it in is bad for you.
Do you know WHY people that smoke pot are looked so down upon? Nobody would care if you did it on your own time, with your own buddies or recreationally. What I find most annoying is that people who are always asking you for money, e.g a stoner roommate who always needs you to spot him on rent because he's "a bit short that month" but ALWAYS has money for weed, or a homeless guy who needs shelter but you see him with a blunt or bottle later are continuously buying the stuff.
My point is, people that smoke weed have an almost obsessive tendency to try to get people who DON'T to do it, by stating benefits that have absolutely no effect on the users life in the first place. Or, they look at people who don't smoke as pricks.
Or the people who swear that it has 101 health benefits. That may be true, but whenever one of my buddies passes a blunt and I say no, the conversation goes like this:
"Dude, it helps glaucoma"
"But I don't have glaucoma..."
"Man it helps cancer"
"But I don't have cancer...."
"It helps with sore joints"
"I feel fine..."
Honestly, all of these "facts" are looked up or made up by people that really just want to justify why they smoke, when they should just smoke if they feel like it and not worry about others.
You say it's not addicting, then why is it that almost everyone I had went to high school with magically somehow needed to get 20$ for a twenty sack? How much money was wasted? THEN the munchies= bigger waste of money.
And if you really want to "get rid of your problems" face them directly and tackle them on your own, why escape from reality?
This site disagrees on many fronts as well...

Moral of the story: Weed doesn't actually piss me off, hell I've smoked a few times too in High School (gets kinda old at 22) but it's more or less stoners that absolutely cannot live without it and swear by it that annoy me away from it.
