Is this actually true? That would suggest that weed use would decline where it is regulated. And I think the meth problem came up long before weed was legalized.
Bear in mind that I in no way favor the legalization of weed.
Well, the point is really the taboo. It hasn't been taboo in western mainstream for decades.
I think the problem is not as much what 'people' do, and what the left starts pushing. As long as the left has a legitimate cause to push, it'll do that. When it's fresh out of legitimate causes, it starts pushing something illegitimate to downright evil. It is always pushing the envelope.
So imagining for a moment that complete equality between homosexuals and normal people is desirable: the legitimate cause would be same-sex marriage. But when that happened, it became Drag Queen story hour, castrating your kids, and all sorts of other nonsense.
Same for blacks. It's unquestionably correct to not have people be disadvantaged based on their color and race. But when that happened, they started advocating for riots, special preferences, busing, and God knows what.
It seems that even in cases where we think the left is correct, we should stop just short of 'remedying' the situation completely, to make the leftists stuck on the thing that is actually just - rather than moving on to the truly heinous stuff.
Yeah, that's why this shit needs to be nipped in the bud. Every time they were given a mile they took the entire planet, so it's time to go back.

That suggests that it being a crime wasn't doing much.

Since there is no logic nor limiting principle, they'll eventually just spin out of control with their quest for novelty, destroying themselves and possibly their country in the process.
Yes, but most of them will rebel a few times, realize it's just weed, and move on, so the harm is minimal. You can do that with weed, you can't do that with heroin. Or titty skittles.
I grew up in a place and time where it was more or less still taboo and this is exactly how it worked. Me and my friends got stoned a couple of times in high school, and now a decade and a half later we're all fairly normal, upstanding people, most with their own families and nearly all with stable careers.

Pot is not harmless especially to teenagers. Smoking is bad for your lungs weed is bad for under developed brains. It's also bad for motivation
