The original article, for starters?
The people in the article are sufficiently rare that doctors don't spot them very easily. And they're using a lot, every single day. That's pretty benign pharmacologically.

Funny you should mention that ... Prohibition directly shows that the net harms of alcohol not being legal are far, far worse.
And, by the evidence, alcohol seems to be pharmacologically way less benign than marijuana.
Is marijuana harmless? No. But you solve that by regulation rather than criminalization--just like alcohol and nicotine.
And we haven't even touched on the whole issue of selective drug enforcement being institutionalized racism ...
