People whose wasted days turn to years while stoned are not working or are underutilizing their potential to contribute to society. Sitting around with a stupid grin on one's face does nothing for the common good. Furthermore, it is said time and time again that smoking dope is not harmful. But I now have unexplained "hyperactivities on the deep white matter of my brain" and failing cognitive function. What caused this phenomenon? Was it the brain injury at work, the excessive drinking in my youth or was it the pot? It wasn't fresh air.
So, if you are kidding yourself about legalization or the effects of smoking anything, step back and think, if you can. Don't take the chance. Just say no.
