Joolsburger, I agree with you on the whole, and if you were to read all the posts from start to finish you'll see that a lot of the other contributors also agree! The overriding concensus was that smoking cannabis is not much of a prob unless it's particularly excessive.. I think it should be legalised from the point of view of it not being especially harmful and to eliminate the whole dealer issue. But legality wasn't the topic; it was whether it's a healthy occupation for a 16 year old at college, which it isn't, despite everything you've said.
