If you smoke pot then you likely hang out with other people who smoke pot, so it is understandable that you would think that EVERYONE smokes pot because probably everyone YOU know does. I do not smoke pot. I live in a college town with 20,000 college students and I do not know anyone who currently smokes pot (and yes, I know more than 5 people...)

This last semester there was only a single reported incident where someone off campus smelled pot, and around 15 incidences in the dorms.

I also find claims that marijuana doesn't cause lung cancer and isn't addictive to be misleading, because marijuana that is sold on the streets is frequently mixed with tobacco specifically to make users constantly want to buy more marijuana without realizing it (which also has the effect of causing LUNG CANCER when smoked.) So marijuana by itself may not kill you, but the stuff it might be mixed with could.
