None (or very very few) of the drugs are good for you body, so its just stupid. The actual chemical in pot that isn't (arguably) bad for you, is overtaken by the bad ones, like by smoking it.

Physically, the body will not crave more, or become dependent with repeated use.
There is a psychological danger of becoming addicted to ecstasy, yes. Like there is with everything, people are addicted to TV programs, tea, coffee. This is a flaw in humans all alike. from my experience and that of my parents who have been doing ecstasy for over 25 years, it is not addictive.
I take ecstasy more than i drink, normally. Bar the last two weekends i had not had any ecstasy in over 5 months, simply because there was no-one there to sell it to me, so it just didn't cross my mind. Now come a friday night, i'm saying to myself "i need a drink" Not "I need a pill".
You get people addicted to drink, crack, cocaine, I have never once in my entire life(nor my parients) met anyone who is "addicted" to ecstasy.
Pot isn't that bad for you? I've seen plenty people, younger than me, who are high users of pot, who have gone completely nuts off it off the stuff. An old friend of mine, Frazer, stabbed his brother because he thought he stole his cheese bagette. I've seen plenty of my friends go crazy off that stuff, but they are very high users of the stuff, most of them popular drug dealers themselves.
I'm not saying ecstasy does not have side effects because it does. I can see this in my pairents and their friends. After years and years of abuse you will loose most short term memory, and i've even seen some people go "kinda" OCD.
If you don't like drugs thats your buisness, but to say you don't like certan people just because they do drugs, i think is a very childish and narrow-minded view on life. If say you found out one of your closest friends was doing drugs, you'd then no-longer like them?
