For every 3 steps forward, the UK govt. insists on taking 10 steps back,
3 numerous reports have plagued the BBC recently,
perhaps in response to the situation in the US and or Holland?
..is there such a thing as Marijuana Addiction, or is it just nay sayers trying to cash in...? Yawn either way they are pumping at it again..!
1: Cannabis addict: I would smoke before, during and after work
There are claims people hooked on cannabis aren't getting the help they need because the focus is on treating those addicted to class A drugs.
Addiction experts and users have told Newsbeat they feel let down.
But health officials across the UK say there are services and the funding out there to help cannabis addicts.
Lee, who asked us not to use his full name, says his habit got so bad he started dealing and ended up in court.
Here one addict shares his story.

2: Cannabis addicts 'let down' as Class A drugs get attention
A leading drugs expert says cannabis addicts are being let down because there is too much focus on helping people hooked on class A substances.
Doctor Adam Winstock, founder of the Global Drug Survey, the world's biggest drug poll, told Newsbeat cannabis can be as tough to give up as heroin.
"We haven't invested enough in helping people who use cannabis use more safely - or stop," he said.

3:Tonight's topic is fear - inside Marijuana Anonymous
Fifty people are crammed into a small, hot, tense and brightly lit room in London discussing fear.
All of them are taking it in turns to open up about their lives and their addiction to cannabis.
For most of the people in this room this is a weekly event. It all feels normal. Painfully normal.
It begins with everyone introducing themselves by their first name and admitting they have a problem.
"My name is Lee and I'm a weed addict...", "My name is John and I'm an addict..." and so it goes on
