Important to note in this discussion is that the question is whether Cannabis should be legal not whether it’s good for you. There are many things that are bad for you that are legal. Sometimes when something is legal it actually makes it less desirable as our sages of blessed memory said in Sanhedrin at the end of Perek Ben Sorer Umorer “Stolen waters are sweeter”. It could be legalizing cannabis would take away a lot of the allure stemming from the current pot smoking culture and kids would realize it’s just an overrated plant and move on to better things in life.
