Number of arrests is such a horrible stat to use as a measure of success.

Weed isn't physically addictive. It is psychologically addictive, but everything is. There are people who are probably addicted to this message board. There are people addicted to cheeseburgers, sex, and organization a collection of spoons.
If someone says their life was ruined by weed, it wasn't the weed that did it, the problem was already there. The number of completely normal, high-functioning people who indulge in it is proof of that.
