The hole in your logic is that you have the idea that drugs are taken because people feel badly, when in fact humans simply have a natural preference for altered mental states. Also, the vast majority of human cultures condone the use of some recreational drug, and no one is "just giving" anybody anything. If you want to talk about social policy, it's quite clear that the actual 'opiate of the masses' is alcohol, and you may recall that Prohibition failed. If what you're talking about is not a return to Prohibition then it's fairly useless to try to imply that cannabis has anything like the social problems of alcohol. You're rationalizing your morality and trying to say "people should only do drugs I approve of". We've tried Puritanism. That it is a hopeless model for society is precisely why cannabis is being legalized now. There is not a reasoned argument for cannabis prohibition, and thinking otherwise represents a flaw in reasoning.
