Weed is one of the safest drugs, if alcohol and nicotine are legal, weed should be too. Plus prohibition really isn't working, the product you buy can be laced with harmful stuff and it's often low quality, bringing it under control of the state would help significantly reducing risk, and could finance the health sector and addiction recovery.
I tend to think of these "soft drugs" on the same level as unhealthy foods. Yes they serve no societal value, and do some harm, but overall it's so minor as to not be worth it. Might as well make twinkies illegal.
Harder drugs tho can decimate communities, which is why socialist countries historically have ruthlessly dismantled the drug trade from the top down.
If we enter in nerd emoji mode, cannabis is better than fast foods in the fact that It doesn't cause as big as an addiction.
I will nerd emoji myself 🤓
