I'd put it in the same boat as alcohol, sensible people have a few glasses of wine or whatever as a treat in the evening or with friends, maybe drink at bit more occasionally socially, some abuse it and get pissed all the time. Same with smoking marijuana, maybe a smoke after work to relax, socially with friends etc, there will also be those who get stoned all the time, same as alcoholics. I don't get why its such a big deal, I used to smoke and drink at home when I had some free time or out with friends, I don't now after 2 pregnancies and having my hands and evenings full for some time, I need a clear head and don't have the recovery time I used to pre-children, a hang over would royally cock up the morning routine/school run (and I'm now officially a light weight). I think regulation is the way forwards, sold legally in shops to those over the age limit, fines/prison time for those supplying minors, the ability to grow personal supplies at home like home brewing.
