There are many benefits to society of decriminalising the possession and production of some drugs, including cannabis. There is no denying, however, the harm cannabis can cause to a person and ultimately to society such as: increasing the effects of mental illness; cannabis-induced psychosis; impaired memory over the long-term etc. How can legalizing the drug help to mitigate these effects? Isn't there the risk that the effects on society will be worse or the same?
