First off, contrary to popular belief, weed does not have addictive qualities as opposed to Cocaine, Heroine, Crack and Meth. Much of why it's so popular in the first place among people is because aside from sluggishness, euphoria, hunger and in some cases slight paranoia, the medicinal, therapeutic and even in some cases, spiritual benefits outweigh. Those that claim to be addicted to weed are either lying to get themselves out of trouble or may have had other problems prior and during it.

In my case, I grew up with a Hippie for a mother and on top of the recreational usage she had in the 70s to the early mid 2000s, she smoked it because it helped her deal with her cancer and the complications regarding Chemotherapy including but not limited to bringing her appetite back from the dead. I myself take the medical benefits of weed seriously and don't knock those who do it recreationally, not to mention I'm autistic and it really helps me manage that a lot easier.

I'm also advocating for medicinal hallucinogens because, I just recently found out that scientists discovered that the chemical Psilocybin, the chemical commonly known to the drug world as magic mushrooms, have been proven to reverse the effects of brain damage and in turn may hold the key to reversing neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Dementia. There's articles like this: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2021.685085/full all over.

Long story short, I seen how it benefits my own life and the lives of those I care about, as well as will always share any helpful information on the subject.

That being said I do apologize if I come off as arrogant or dismissive of your status as a forensic medic, I'm pretty sure you do know a thing or two more about drugs than I do, but that being said, there's a difference between drugs in my side of the world and drugs in your country.

Your country charges the Ruble equivalent to $769.54 CAD just for someone only holding weed. Possession charge. My country treats someone smoking weed no different than we treat a public drunk. If they're safe to go home, we leave them be, if they do prove to be a danger, which in that case they're probably on something way worse than mere weed, that's when we take action. If they were merely caught holding weed, the only they'd ask if anything is if you have a receipt for it, otherwise they'd just treat it like you robbed the liquor store at worst or leave you be at best since you're not on it now. No word of a lie, because this campaign has been happening in Canada for so long we even have special breathalyzers for it as opposed to the classic blood alcohol level.

All that being said, I'm pretty sure we can find common ground based around the fact neither one of us wants kids doing this stuff. It's why I rated this mature in the first place. I know for a fact that half the teens in North America alone especially some on this very site, have smoked weed at an early age. Hell Fulp here probably had his fair share of doobie days considering Weed is used as a health potion for Pico's School. If they aren't doing it, then there is no problem, if they are doing it the best we can do is either get them off it or better educate them on the matter.

Anywho, I apologize for rambling on, but I figured I should tell you my take on it.
