First of all I am proposing that it be tightly regulated with restrictions on age. Second, I said time and time again that paranoia, anxiety, and other side effects are rare and have a reason for them. Whether the reason is the users age, irresponsible dose or the users family history. The majority of the users will not get these effects and the ones that do will not harms others and if they do they are accountable for their actions. The activity is going on regardless of its legality. Also we really do not know what the societal effects are but as I said earlier, cannabis was legal in this country at some time during the turn of the century and the police did not find a problem with the jazz clubs where cannabis was smoked.
