Congrats, Germany, on doing the right thing. If tobacco and alcohol are legal, weed absolutely should be as well.

It's been legal in Canada for a few years now and society hasn't crumbled as a result. All it means is more tax dollars, less organized crime, and less people being thrown in jail for using a relatively harmless substance.

Note: I don't use myself, it's just a no-brainer to legalize it.

As a result bring the operative term here. It has been crumbling since long before legalisation

I legit included that as a qualifier precisely because I agree that society seems to be getting worse in a lot of other respects.
