As a marijuana adict I can definitely say no. I'm 6 months sober and much happier. I'm not your average pot smoker of course, just like your average drinker doesn't drink everyday. That being said its not the worst thing I've been addicted to. (I have an addictive personality) Video games in my past caused me to almost fail out of school, lost relationships and basically consumed my life. While I do still game every day, I like to think I have a control on it and my life. Today I have a successful career wonderful fiance and in general enjoy my life. In other words being addicted to canibus is a bad thing, but there are much worse things.
