cannabis is pretty safe for the average person, even heavy users. it's not good for you, but i think most of the effects like this are explained by selection effects. unhappy people use it to self-medicate. however, using cannabis comes with a very big tail risk. if you are susceptible to psychosis, cannabis can cause it or make it much more severe. this is undoubtedly causal. people take all kinds of worse risks in life which everyone agrees should be acceptable, so I think cannabis should be legal. but I also think that if people clearly understood this risk, most would choose to avoid cannabis.
