Obviously, yes. The only reason we hold marijuana to be a taboo, in the United States, at least, is because the use of it was rather uncommon. If our forefathers had smoked the ganja rather than basked in their inebriation, we would all be having far different experiences with the law (:P). It has been proven time and time again that drugs such as alcohol/hard liquor are just that - hard; a hard drug. As Adam stated, one cannot overdose on marijuana. Also, marijuana more or less makes one more prone to react, as time seems to go slower and the senses heighten (although this is more so dependent on the strain).
"...it can take away your motivation of life; hence committing suicide or some psychotic bullcrap, and it destroys your brain cells." - Untrue. It is not a 'downer', nor an 'upper', it is simply a hallucinogen. The tales of 'loss of motivation' are most likely from those who are psychologically addicted, which, in most cases, one can be weened off of. Also, why would doctors prescribe marijuana to those suffering from mental issues, including/especially depression if it were to result in suicide of the recipient? lol.
And everything, more or less, destroys your brain cells - time, for instance.
In my opinion, it should simply be as it currently is/will be in California (commencing Jan. 1st, '11), in that it will be decriminalized, and only stockpiling and having possession of large amounts aforementioned hallucinogen will result in serious consequences. The 'war on drugs' in America is a joke and a waste of money.
Sources: None, because if you all can't bear to cite anything, I won't either. Just going from personal experience, a user of said drug, a sufferer of social anxiety and a person who has dealt with those in mental states that can be ameliorated with a simple pipe and $5 worth of illegal materials.
