I haven't smoked weed for a long time like almost 15 years, but I'm a firm believer in the fact that it is the least harmful drug. Less than alcohol for sure. As far as it's medicinal value, it could keep people off of a lot more harmful prescription stuff in some cases if it was easy to get and didn't have such a stigma attached to it.
