The war on drugs is a dismal failure and simply turn non criminal users into criminal users. Pot has been around for all of human history. But no one was a criminal until someone decided to make it a crime.
It's less addicting than cigarettes and the smoke is less cancer causing. It has legitimate medical uses. Especially the CBD components.
The only thing to worry about is exposure to under 18 year olds as it can be toxic to the glial cells in the brain that support the neurons and make up the majority of cells in the brain. Adult brains are more resistant to THC as their brains are out of the growth stage. But in child and teens who's brains are still developing this can kill of the glial cells which leads to the death of neurons in turn causing learning disabilities and delays in development.
Also THC can induce schizophrenia in those with a family history or that are susceptible to the disease.
But are any of these reason to turn otherwise law abining citizens into even harder criminals. No.
