Just because people don't die for cannabis doesn't mean it isn't harmful. Also, I'm not a grower or a pusher, just a prohibitionist. I use cannabis yes, its illegal yes, if I were arrested for using cannabis I wouldn't complain, I knew the consequences before hand. I don't think it should be legal or endorsed by the government to get high on anything. Also, about people getting falsified prescriptions. That does happen, however, it is much more difficult to get a prescription for pharmaceuticals than it is for cannabis. Literally all you need to do to get a club card is pay a doctor $200, you can't walk into a doctors office, hand him $200, and get a lifetime prescription for Oxycontin.
