From what I've read the latest research shows animals self administer THC in a robust manner just like cocaine, amphetamine, and other drugs of abuse. Also it seems marijuana intoxication effects dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens area of the brain, also just like heroin cocaine etc. So the only reason MJ isn't regarded as a "hard" drug is because it's elimination from the body is so slow that detox is not dramatic.
