Exactly. I used to be a heavy marijuana user and it’s definitely not innocuous. But I still think the evidence is clear that the societal effects of prohibition are worse than the drug itself.

Also, there are clearly medical benefits to the drug for some people, although I do resent how the industry as a whole is trying to act like it’s medicine for all people.

These kind of articles make no sense when we see how much damage alcohol does each year. And no sane person would propose alcohol prohibition again.
