Psychiatrist: Prohibition makes pot more harmful

By David Edwards and Daniel Tencer

The prohibition on marijuana makes its use a more addictive habit, says a prominent author and psychiatrist.

Dr. Julie Holland, a psychiatrist at the New York University School of Medicine and author of Weekends at Bellevue, told Matt Lauer of NBC's Today Show that the feelings of shame and suspicion associated with an illegal habit, as well as the adrenaline kick it fuels, all make marijuana use more habit-forming and harmful than it needs to be.
