Query by King V: The health effects of moderate marijuana use and why is it illegal?
I’ve been searching by way of a number of health-related journals and internet sites on the wellness effects on marijuana, but I can only find wellbeing effects on marijuana ‘abuse.’ Naturally, no drug is excellent in excess, legal or illegal and it is instead bothersome that physicians emphasize the dangers in drug abuse, but don’t advise on the dangers if used in moderation. Possibly in concern of advertising illegal activity or addiction.
But I see it as a drug not not like alcohol and tobacco (and alcohol was in prohibition extended ago), but I just actually want to comprehend why it truly is illegal. Healthcare or otherwise.
Please, written sources and specifics are encouraged.

I dunno I smoke a good bit of weed (maybe like a dime each and every couple days) and all it does is make you lazy and retarded lookin… it helps apetite for me, great for finding a lot of protein 
Id say as prolonged as youre not wake n baking and smoking a half OZ a day then youre fine
Give your solution to this query below!
its illegal because the government cant tax it. and because white people in the 50s and got scared when their kids startin using it, but it was never a problem when minorities were the main users. I used to smoke a lot of weed and i dont notice any side effects.
I’ve never seen the (negative) effects to be too different from being drunk.
Note, I don’t drink or smoke anything, but that gives me sober mind to take in what happens when friends do it.
I mean, when people around me smoke hash, their mental state changes- more relaxed, even giggly- and they sometimes throw up- just like when you get drunk.
I’m not saying ‘YEAH, MAKE IT LEGAL’, because I believe there’s no cap on legality- like there is none on alcohol, which is why drinking is such a problem- and you couldn’t say ‘you can only smoke a moderate amount’, and people would smoke too much and do stupid things- like they do with alcohol.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-drinking, smoking, or even against some drugs, but me choosing not to do those things gives me a non-biased view. The short term effects are like drinking too much, and the long term ones are like smoking too much.

I think it’s illegal, as well, because no-one knows the long term health effects, especially mentally.
Drinking too much can lead to a dependence which can lead to psychological problems- hallucanations when coming off, depression etc., but smoking tobacco doesn’t cause any mental health problems (except anxiety if you’re not allowed to smoke for a time, and depression when trying to get off) whilst they think hash, long term use- even moderate, long term use- can cause delusions and even schizophrenia, but they’re not so sure, so it makes it hard to say if hash is actually in the same class as ‘legal’ drugs because of the long term, mental (and physical, such as lung cancer) health implications.
