[STM]

A minute after I posted mine no less. Whilst it's true cannabis is pretty tame compared to some drugs (for the most part) and I do advocate its legalisation, if not for the economic benefits rather than the actual liberal aspect, I do know that it can cause enormous amounts of shit for people who are easily addicted or who rely on it too much. It's caused in part the breakdown of friends' relationships and there was one person I met who went from being a banker on a seven-figure salary to a recovering addict who used weed as a treadstone to get to heroin within a decade or two. It can be dangerous and there should be real, independent studies into its positives and negatives before any legalisation.
