At present, it should be obvious to anyone that the greatest harm that marijuana causes, by a long shot, is found in the gov't response to those who use, make, and traffic it. The U.S. made >6,000,000 arrests in 2011 [1] for the possession or sale of marijuana. Many of those arrested were incapacitated for an extended period of time (in custody), and had their life permanently changed for the worse. Even if 10,000 people a year get schizophrenia from heavy marijuana use, to try to mitigate this by ruining the lives of millions more is the height of absurdity.
