I do not believe we should encourage recreational use of weed, should be regulated same way as alcohol; but in general weed does not directly kill people and have many practical ACTUAL medical uses. Alcohol impairs way you see things and can change big time your normal behavior, while weed slows down your reaction ; not in itself, but in cases of a ball coming to the street, they would tend to go "whoahh a ball, what a beautiful ball, it has a lot of stars" instead of thinking right away "oh no, a kid might come into the street wanting to get that ball" and depending on your "initial state" before using weed, it can increase it, weed can be a mild depressant, mild stimulant as in increasing paranoia, can be a mild hallucinogen  ( in other words, probably should avoid driving after weeding ).effects varies according to individuals.
