For what its worth, the federal government government has been giving a small amount of people "medical marijuana" since the 1970s for treatments such as glaucoma. For some conditions, marijuana is the ONLY known medication. The program was "closed" (no new patients) during GHWB's administration.
Meth > heroin / prescription painkillers > what the government gives you to get off heroin (methadone/suboxone) > cocaine >alcohol ..... is probably the decreasing order of addiction and problems when it comes to drugs... notice pot isn't even on the list....

The "problem drugs" can lead to robbery and (domestic) assault charges, dependencies ... how many time have you ever hard of a stoner committing domestic assault ?
