Not everyone who smokes marijuana a lot is doing out of recreational purposes, some use it for medicinal purposes. Also, legalizing marijuana doesn't mean everyone will abuse it.
One study found that "Regular use of marijuana can hasten the onset of psychotic illnesses. In fact, high-dose THC – one of the most widely studied molecules in the marijuana plant – has been found to cause acute/transient psychosis."
Legalizing marijuana is not a good idea because it is very addictive and it would cause a more people to become addicted.This would happen because they would have an easier access to it.
Legalizing marijuana would give the police time to attend to other bigger crimes are that are more dangerous rather than focusing on catching drug users.
