The only issue I have with cannabis is the sheer bloody strength of it these days. This again came about because of prohibition. As crackdowns on imports of lower-strength (and very enjoyable) hashish started to bite, it created a gap in the market for domestic growers to create varieties with much higher THC levels, which is how we ended up with skunk. So, again, prohibition created a stronger nastier drug than existed in the first place.
