It’s an enticing narrative, but most of it is wrong. Even as the legalization push gains momentum, scientific journals report mounting evidence of the drug’s harmful psychological effects and social consequences. “There’s a tremendous gulf between what everybody thinks they know and what’s actually happening,” says Kevin Sabet, a former drug-policy advisor in the Obama White House and cofounder, with former congressman Patrick Kennedy, of Smart Approaches to Marijuana. “What’s going on with the scientific research is not filtering down to the public.”
I'm for legalization, and I would procure some if it was. But I know that weed can cause or exacerbate depression and cause lethargy. It's not something that is without harm.

I believe that any 'drug' -- alcohol, weed, pills.....can cause depression, lethargy, more mental illness in those individuals who are genetically inclined to have a tendency for those mental illnesses.

Neither is alcohol.
All I know is Washington state got over $319 million in marijuana tax revenue in 2017 that went toward schools and drug treatment.
TBH it doesn't really matter if it is harmful or not
The only thing that matters is: Are the consequences of it being ILLEGAL more damaging that the consequences of it being legal
In this case I think it is pretty obvious that they are
In this case, the long term effects of a felony drug conviction can change someone's life for the worse much more than the actual effects of the drug itself, thus it should be a no brainer
I love weed, it helps me relax when I need to. It makes sex way better.
It even helps me work better sometimes in low doses.
It's no business of the government's or anyone else's if I want to ingest a harmless plant.
It's certainly much less harmful than alcohol or nicotine.
Try that nonsense where I work and you will be fired instantly. And I have had people fired.
