And yes I believe from experience and witnessing, and books studies and paper researches that cannabis, salvia and mushroom are wonderful medication for the physical health, the mental health and the spiritual health. I have seen only benefits after 30 years of observation around me.
Heroin? No thank. Alcohol? No thanks (or very occasionally by social pressure). Tobacco (OK, but in oral snus form. Cigarettes almost killed me).
I have been once called, by parents, to help their daugher. I was told she was a druggy, desperate, and unable to work,(and the exams were close). I asked, "what drug?". They answer me that it was cannabis, and that they have confiscate it. I told them to give the cannabis back to her, and to tell her to study for the exams, without comments. They trust me and did exactly that. She succeed the exam, and we have never talk again about cannabis, or any problem related. The problem with MJ is the fuss made by people about it.

Please pardon me for butting in, but if you need to rationalize your addiction to mind rotting pot, you need not suffer exile in far away lands across the Atlantic. Have you ever considered Long Beach? Long Beach is blessed with a temperate year 'round Mediterranean climate.
Long Beach is home to one of the most radical of the State's incredibly expensive taxpayer funded State universities. Perhaps in large part because of the "culture" that grew out of academia after the '60s '70s revolution, local "university trained" politicians and their high paid staff use hard earned taxpayer money enabling them to spend their time advocating the "regulation" of illegal mind rotting "medicinal" pot dispensaries.
If you are fortunate enough for your addiction to have progressed to the point where a Government "doctor" will certify your "need" for pot, your disability would qualify you to free food in the form of taxpayer funded food stamps. You would be "in like Flynn",*(so to speak)* As a recipient of taxpayer funded food stamps, you would be exempt from the requirement to pay the city's Lowenthal grocery and goods bag harassment tax that is required of the increasingly impoverished minority of city residents who pay taxes.
While the city's taxpaying minority are required to pay the harassment tax - UNDER PENALTY OF LAW!- you could give the finger to the taxpaying minority in proper '60s era fashion. Taxpayers would be none the wiser, because free-spending out-of-control California politicians load hard earned taxpayer money - most of which is paid by NON tobacco smokers - into EBT "wealth transfer" cards. Thus, you would not even need to suffer the stigmatization of having your pot/taxpayer dependency known to those who would be forced to pay for it. Come! Join us! The city needs more taxpayer funded "stimulus" money!

we have had the unfortunate experience of being the landlords to a medical marijuana dispensary. here are the the facts: the tenants have refused to pay their rent for almost a year, refuse access to their unit so we have no idea what damage they have done and are a general nuisance to the other neighbors. The "patients" totally disrespect the property as well as neighboring properties. They park wherever they choose without regard for "private property" signs, throw their "medicine" bottles all over the parking lots, and leave whatever garbage they have in their cars in the parking lots when they leave. The problem is not the marijuana, it is the fact that the dispensaries are just "legalized" drug dealers.

Thanks Ronald, but I am just born in Europa. Also I am not addicted to pot. I have an addiction to tobacco, but it is not a problem with snus. My favorite plant is salvia, and it cures all addiction, habituations and compulsive behaviors, even when we are not interested in curing them, like with my tobacco-snus.
The reason why I am for the legalization of marjiuana and all drugs are purely driven by my concern to be able to provide the real information about all substances to the public, and to make health politics consistent, and to help the cure of people really addicted to drugs (legal or illegal). And, well, to solve the corruption problems.
In my country the number of heroin users has diminish a lot when they made it (unofficially) legal to prevent the spreading of AIDS. I sincerely believe that drugs are not really a problem, unless they become illegal, because this gives an incentive to criminals to sell hazardous products to the kids.

And illegal immigration is also illegal. Where does that get us? We have a HUGE population of illegal aliens, and the feds, whose law prohibits them does nothing to stop them.
