As opposed to the effects that alcohol legalization has had on our country? There will always be addicts for every substance and responsible users as well. Lots of people have substance abuse problems with alcohol and its completely legal. I think this will be beneficial. Less incarceration. People will always find a way to get their fix/high regardless of the laws in the country. At least stop punishing people for doing something they were going to do anyways.
I have encountered people who mindlessly praise cannabis, but to be fair, it quite literally is the most practically and medically useful and nutritious plant known to man.
I think we're going to regret legalizing it after communities realize the short and long-term effects weed has on a person, especially in terms of productivity and mental health.
I'll take a few lazy ass non-motivated slackers over a deadly criminal black market and jail cells full of non violent offenders any day of the week.

You are killing me here. You had me sold at killing off the criminal black market, and it is significantly less harmful than alcohol.
