Although Marijuana is less addictive then virtually everything else out there, alcohol and cigarettes included, it is still a drug. As such moderation is the key.

SunGod and Clay are right, it does change your head, it can induce permanent anxiety disorders waaaaaaay after you quit smoking it, and you don't have to be a 20 year addict to get the anxiety. You can smoke it off-and-on for 6 months and be permanently changed. I've seen it.

Any habitual activity involving a substance or not will eventually change you... it is about the culture and the experience. Yes you lose motivation, that being almost exclusively a temporary effect, but that is not an argument for making it illegal.
