That’s because Cannabis is not a substance with a strong chemical addiction. There has been a significant increase in cannabis usage. www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/ss/ss6511a1.htm
Strictly, Cannabis isn’t really any worse than alcohol.
Heroin is far worse. Drugs are addictive, and when available legally it will encourage more people to try them.
