The people you have known have probably used bad batches, Stu's earlier post pretty much deals with the paranoia bit quite handily. It's caused by bad plants rather then the drug itself. Places in which it's legalised most likely have regulations and guidelines when it comes to growing plants correctly.

As for your last point, if that's the case then why not ban aclcohol since drink driving is a lot more prevalent. You can't really make a point against Cannabis without inadvertently making a more damning case against Alcohol.

Nobody knows for certain how bad the potential health risks could be.
How would the authorities know the source of your cannabis ?
Your last point makes no sense to me... If I make a point against cannabis, how on earth does that affect anything in relation to alcohol consumption and the associated health and social implications of it?...
I am not advocating people drink alcohol, all I am suggesting is people don't use cannabis.
That is not a double standard.
