First of all, pot is THERE, and just about any kid can get their hands on it if they wanted it. Also, for many people, pot allows them to think differently and better. As far as math goes, I took college level calculus in high school and a little toke helped me greatly. I've been tested and I'm in the top percentile in terms of mathematics ability and spatial relationships. And I'm quite fuzzy as to your definition of addictive. Addictive how? Psychologically? Physically? There are no true withdrawal symptoms for pot. So it basically boils down to if a person likes the effects that pot provides, he/she will try to seek it out. The same goes for anything.

I'm quite sure you would get that greater control under legalization in the U.S. You ask any high schooler nowadays which is easier to obtain, alcohol or pot, 4 times out of 5 they're going to tell you pot.
