I don't really like marijuana.
However it's not my place to say that others should not smoke it, just like I wouldn't like it if people were trying to outlaw alcohol. I haven't seen any evidence of it actually being harmful and the money spent in the fight against it / taxes collected from sales can be put to much better use.
There's articles proving this from it's use in the US:
Colorado raked in $60 million in marijuana taxes and licensing fees in the past year, plus saved most if not all of the $145 million the Harvard report estimated it spent each year fighting marijuana.
Legal marijuana is the fastest-growing industry in the United States and if the trend toward legalization spreads to all 50 states, marijuana could become larger than the organic food industry
So yeah, I'm all for legalizing it if there's laws to control it's use:
-18+
-Not allowed in public
-Maximum 5-10g
etc.
