As a former stoner, I don't agree with weed being so easily accessible, it may not ruin lives in the traditional drug sense, but it absolutely ruins a lot of peoples motivation and ability to socialize. Yes, I know there are stoners this is not a problem for, I'm not talking about you. With that being said, I 100% understand this as a political move.
As a previous stoner I understand your sentiment but disagree. It was the dulling of my mind and the strong apathy that ultimately drove me away from pot. Coupled with the fact that I could no longer allow myself to be controlled by something. Feeling the need to have to have something, anything, doesn’t sit right with me. So ya, I get it. While I have chosen to abstain, I feel it is still highly useful for people in moderation. Some people still function highly with large amounts. It’s a natural substance that God made for a purpose. It is the responsibility of adults to find that purpose on their own. It is far less harmful than many, if not all, synthetic chemicals that are legal and available over the counter.
At the end of the day gluttony is the root cause of nearly everything. Is “it”, whatever “it” may be, controlling you? Or are you controlling “it”?

Same. It made me content with doing nothing. Including socializing. I know countless people where becoming a stoner has become a part of their identity and that is equally as weird as making being a faggot your identity.
It is less dangerous than other drugs, 100% agree, but it's dangerous in it's own way, of making you apathetic, agreeable, and weak. It becomes a slippery slope of saying it's up to the individual to abstain or use in moderation. Same can be said for processed foods, cigarettes, fast food, cocaine. It's a drug that messes with your natural dopamine and that is a problem when used for only recreational purposes.
