If you need marijuana to “produce insight” then that is a problem for you. It is best that we keep dangerous drugs off the street through any means.

If you need coffee to have energy in the morning that is a problem for you.

And yes, coffee is a drug and it can be dangerous as well.

As Amaerica showed during the Prohibition and as we see today with opioids, humans will always want to alter their consciouness, no matter the cost. Legalizing drugs along with treating addiction as a disease and not a crime, would be a net positive.

Legalizing it encourages its consumption. There were high rates of people going to the ER with marijuana induced psychosis after legalizing in California (something where people probably would have been brought to the ER either way)
