Cannabis' negative? It's energy intensive. And, it directly affect greenhouse gas production. Given what we now unquestionably know, that global warming and its destructive forces are real and at work even as I type, the growing cannabis industry and the politicans supporting it had damn well better get a handle on reducing the carbon footprint of cannabis.

The most dangerous thing about drugs like cannabis was their affinity for political dissent. By halting research for the medical safety and efficacy of drugs in the 1960s, Nixon solidified a way to crush both. “We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news,” top Nixon aid John Ehrlichman later admitted. “Did we know we were lying about the drugs?

A 2021 study just released on the effects of cannabis use among youth (adolescents) associates altered brain development with its use.  "Researchers found that adolescents who reported moderate-to-heavy cannabis use tended to have reduced thickness in left and right prefrontal cortices, an area of the brain involved in planning, decision making, working memory and learning. There was a dose-dependent relationship between cannabis use and cortical thickness." Certainly this is an area of concern and it requires significantly more research.
