Its impossible to abuse marijuana and get addicted. For one, you can smoke 10,000 ounces (possible more) of Marijuana in a single sitting and still not die - there goes the abuse factor. Its like eating too many tic-tac mints, it has virtually zero calories and has no effect on your body, and you certainly won't "crave" it like cigarettes or other drugs. Marijuana smokers, like someone who may enjoy tic-tac mints, get a nice feeling for a few hours and probably won't come back for another 2-3 days to smoke again.
If Somalis smoked marijuana in larger numbers instead of khat, their brains would open up a little bit, and that is never bad.
You have one point, though, khat has the lowest abuse potential in the world of any recreational drug, and marijuana is #2, Somalis would definitely overuse it somehow, but maybe marijuana will turn back the effects of khat, its been used to treat addictions of cocaine and virtually every other harmful drug.
