I'm sure it has some benefits but look where opioids have us today like morphine had us @ one time(history continues to repeat itself for those who don't read it.....). I typically don't delve into an online tepid pool of alligators, but when an individual chooses to use substances that affect your cognisant ability, that individual has chosen the life path for them, ie, their lot in life. They are not going to have a high-tech job, a job piloting drones, trains, planes, automobiles, heavy equipment, bus @ local highschool, etc. as the insurance is not going to allow them as it is too much of a liability. So as general use in the end the concept is a cyclic downward spiral for the individual(and I've lost friends that began w/ weed & worked their way up & to break the cycle, suicide was thier method of choice), that's only upshot is that State revenues will get a bounce.
