Should cannibis be considered legal.

As long as alocohol, tobacco, refined white sugar are free and people are not educated in understanding what hyperglycamic carbohydrates are and what the difference between good and bad fats is, banning Cannabis is like chasing a house cat, while you leave the tiger under your bed untouched. It is simply idiotic. All these things, each for itself, cause far more costs in the health sector, more desease, more deaths and more shortening of life expectancy, than Cannabis. Banning it while accepting even greater dangers and consequences from other stuff is hypocrisy. The risk remains that Cannabis is an introduction for the user to harder drugs later on. That is the only valid argument, imo. As long as it does not come to something like the British opium war on china, yes, do not dramatize Cannabis.

Maybe they should tax it. If the state generates income from Cannabis, like he does from selling tobacco and alcohol (drugs that kill), he may find it more acceptable to allow it ?
