If marijuana sedates prisoners, reduces their propensity for violence and doesn't impair cognitive function and perception as alcohol and other drugs do, why is marijuana use not encouraged? Other than because lots of people, industries and institutions make a lot of money from its prohibition. When you get the answer, please inform your neighbour politicians in the country south of you.
