Cannabis also "turns people into unhealthy morons who think they are happy with their mundane existences".
People that use or have used cannabis regularly have a much higher chance of having mental health issues in later life. Some people with a certain genetic make-up are even more susceptible to this. This is separate to the psychosis that can happen any time after or during use.
Cannabis also impedes the ability to do things accurately for 24 hours or more after use. This is a serious hazard to other members of society.
I'd agree to it being legalised if there was no financial or physical risk to the wider society and I didn't have to meet up with spaced out users (which can be as bad as being cornered by a talkative drunk). Perhaps designated living regions would be an answer.
The big question is why use cannabis, like alcohol it is mostly used as a form of escapism using the laziest form possible - wouldn't it be better to do something with your life with variety than drop out and do the same thing time after time?

In a recent ITV This Morning poll 84% of people thought that people suffering with conditions like ;Crohns, ;Colitis and chronicpain should have access to medical cannabis; if their doctor prescribes it. People were outraged that access to #medicalcannabis is illegal in the UK – but legal in many European countries as well as 24 US states. The poll was encouraging, but what we urgently need are more signatures on our petition at www.endourpain.org. Today is worldibdday If you agree that sufferers should be able to use #medicalcannabis without fearing the knock at the door from the Police please sign the petition and – most importantly – share this post. Together we can end this injustice. Those who are suffering will really appreciate it, and you’ll be in good company too. We’re already supported by @joannalumley, Richard Branson, Russell Brand and a growing number of compassionate MPs – see them here http://www.endourpain.org/supporters/

A lot of pleasure users will sign the petition for all the wrong reasons.

Still would only be available by prescription, though?
