You appear to have this fixation on the smoking part of using marijuana which is one of the least pleasurable, IMO, ways of getting high especially when there are so many other and some very yummy ways of partaking.

I guess it comes down to a matter of choice. An eater doesn't force his cannabis onto others. A smoker imposes it on everyone.
Yeah, I don't think there's any way around it. No use having laws that can't be enforced and with so much serious crime these days it makes absolutely no sense to be busting pot smokers. Back about 1967 possession of one joint would put you in the slammer for 6 months. What a waste of taxpayers money that little charade was!
There has never been a case of lung cancer from pot smoking, in fact, pot fights cancer, although smoking it is least effective way to use pot.
Yes some doctors need to be in jail as do the regulatory agencies that allowed this profitable epidemic to be created.
CDC Ignored Warning About Opioid Guidelines
A consulting company hired by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned the agency last year that many doctors had stopped prescribing opioid pain medication and that chronic pain patients felt “slighted and shamed” by the CDC’s opioid guidelines.
“Some doctors are following these guidelines as strict law rather than recommendation, and these physicians have completely stopped prescribing opioids,” PRR warned in a report to CDC in August 2016, five months after the CDC released its guidelines.
“Pain patients who have relied on these drugs for years are now left with little to no pain management options. Chronic pain is already stigmatized. Now chronic pain patients face the stigma of addiction, even when they are using opioids responsibly for pain management.”

The CDC Opioid Guidelines Violate Standards Of Science Research
https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/03/25/cdc-opioid-guidelines-violate-standards-science-research-11050
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has had historical credibility with the medical community, generally making judicious use of evidence for public health benefit. That is why it is disconcerting to read its recommendations [1] on opioids for chronic pain and accompanying descriptions in the media. With these new recommendations concerning the use of opioids, the CDC has taken available data and developed a narrative that H.L. Mencken would generally have described as “neat, plausible, and wrong.” [2]
The narrative is as follows: People in chronic, severe pain are readily provided unproven opioids in ever-increasing doses, get easily addicted and die of overdose either from the opioids prescribed to them or from a switch to lethal heroin.
Neat? Yes. Plausible? Yes. Wrong? Unfortunately, yes.
Patients with chronic, severe pain in 2016 have often tried available first-line options of physical therapy, behavioral treatment, NSAIDs, acetaminophen, anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, etc. prior to beginning an opioid medication. Indeed, the general outcome for many patients in pain is ever-increasing hardship in finding skilled prescribers who are willing to provide such treatment. [3–6]

...and yet, on the other hand... pills are as good as money on the streets around here, and many old folks supplement their income by getting these prescriptions and the selling the pills to dealers, who supplement their income by selling to addicts who can't keep their spiralling DOCTOR initiated PILL addictions under control.
Initially the guidelines were based on Hospital staff controlled opiate use, NOT patient controlled opiate use, which is pretty much guaranteed to accelerate out of hand. THAT is what cause the billion dollar opiate epidemic.
Pharmaceutical Founder Arrested In Alleged Nationwide Opioid Scheme
On the same day President Trump declared the opioid epidemic a public health emergency, the co-founder of a prominent opioid medication manufacturer has been arrested on fraud and racketeering charges. John Kapoor, former CEO of Insys Therapeutics, has been charged with conspiring to push the company's signature drug for unacceptable uses through a series of bribes and kickbacks.

Yes but they are rolling out new impaired driving rules which are going to fill the courts and create a lot more people who are ineligible to travel .
Evidently, it is a very bad thing.
How can they legalize the drug that causes abnormal psychological reaction and leads to addiction?
It is worse than the alcohol, which is forbidden in both the Torah (the Old Testament) and the Quran.
Certainly, those who drink alcohol and don't mind .. may not object to this cannabis legalization.

Such forbidding includes alcohol and every drug causing drunkenness and addiction.
I fully agree with that aspect, Mowich as I recently stated in another post. Hopefully it will all work out and no one will be hurt. I'm mostly concerned about it affecting those whose brains are still in the formative stage. I question throwing it wide open to 19 year olds, although I admit it may be the only way to make them responsible.
Doesn't matter a whit what governments do or don't do. Those that are growing at home now will just keep cultivating. It may prevent others from growing their own, but I seriously doubt that. How are you going to police every single home?
On the other hand how much does it lower road rage and aggressive offensive driving?
Everybody should grow even if they don't use it. The prohibition was stupid and destructive. If everybody grew, there is no way they could do anything about it. It's a feakin' weed.
