Thankfully none of the legal prescription drugs have ever led to addiction, overdose or any major social issues. Especially the opiod derivatives that are many times prescribed for even minor pain. I've never heard of anything adverse happening when people have been prescribed codeine, Vicodin, Percocet, Demerol, OxyContin, Fenanyl etc. etc. etc. The pharmaceutical giants and medical practitioners have without a doubt created more drug addicts than all the street dealers combined.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the smell of Marijuana smoke but then again to me cigarette/cigar smoke is just as bad. Once legal, if people want to smoke it, vape it, eat it or drink it, have at it. It's not for me, but a glass of red wine, beer or a dram of Scotch isn't for everyone either.
