Because eating is harmless, it renders all arguments "Cannabis is harmful physically" useless.

Let's take a look at the mental state now. Yes, Cannabis might lead to depression, after long use. It is not clear whether that is the effect of meditation or the drug use, or that simply the drug use enhances hte possibilities to be depressed.

I would ask you for a single drug that has no mental side effects if you consume it under a daily basis. You can probably answer none, but Cannabis is one of those drugs if you consume it responsibly. You don't get high if you're sad, because you'll only feel worse. It enhances feelings, it doesn't improve them.

It is also not clear whether schizophrenia and AHD are the result of the drug being illegal. You forgot to mention paranoia which is another infamous effect of Cannabis. Paranoia is such a suspect; it occurs because the drug is illegal, for if it were legal there wouldn't be much an individual would have to be paranoid about.

I noticed you mention "Pot", but please, do not call it pot. If you want to have a serious discussion, call it Cannabis (capitalization not required - I only capitalize because it's a name). That is the name of the plant. "Pot" is slang; "Marijuana" is a propaganda term.

I want to question, are you aware of the answers for the question "Why is Cannabis illegal?"? Have you followed the plant through history to find out what people used to think of it and what they think now?

Are you aware of the dangers that Cannabis set for the synthetic fiber industry back in 1930, prior to its illegalization, for example?
