Question for those of you living in a country where marijuana is legal. What are the positive sides, what are the negatives?
If you could go back in time, would you vote for legalising again? Does it affect the country's illegal drug business , more/less?
Agree with the pros, not really with the cons to the extreme that you describe.
Kurz gesagt did a pretty good episode, balancing the pros & cons

Oh hey look the propaganda machine I used to watch.
I've seen people so addicted to it that they stopped going to work and completely ignored their family. I don't have numbers to put it into perspective, but the sheer level of addiction was beyond what I thought was realistic.
Hey, I noticed it in another comment of yours so I thought I'd say something-
"Stopped to go to work" in English implies that they stopped smoking weed so that they could go to work. You're looking for "stopped going to work"
Appreciated!
People can get addicted to anything.
If the addiction isn't a chemical dependence, and isn't inherently extremely harmful, then I think it should be accessible and addiction support should be available.
Cannabis is legal here, and the level of addiction you're describing is both very uncommon, and typically just exacerbating issues caused by other drugs or mental illness.
Alcohol addiction is way worse than that
You said it might be similar to alcohol
You are right, sorry.
