We're talking about cannabis here Maggy. That is non-addictive although like any drug it may be habit-forming. But then again ice cream is habit-forming for me and nobody's banned that yet..
But seriously. I'd suggest a trade-off. Legalise cannabis with the tax and crime benefits. The other side of the coin should be a much harder crack-down on the bad guys selling the real harmful stuff like heroin and methamphetamines. Now those are the ones we should be taking down.
