I see it differently. They are a problem because they are not offering anything to society. They are stuck within themselves and their own problems. If they would get off the pot and make a decent life for themselves, I believe they would be happier, more productive, and be contributing members of society. There are all kinds of reasons why someone might give up on their life and sit home and smoke pot all day. But ultimately, doing so doesn't help them, it hurts them. And when they are hurt, by extension, society is hurt.

I agree with you.
Alas you cannot change them even if you got rid of pot. They'll just do something else more illegal and possibly rob an old lady.
You do have a point there.
