I think the "drug" that has the most harmful effects is alcohol. It's wide overuse and associated costs are incredibly detrimental to our society. Addiction to it causes people to do things they wouldn't normally do, the extremity of which I don't think you would see if they were high.

You don't often hear about someone who is stoned beating their wife and kids. Or, running their car at top speed into a busload of nuns.

I have no problem with pot being decriminalized but those doing it need to have some common sense. The vote here in Denver was one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. It is legal to smoke pot by city ordinance (I'm not familiar with the correct term) but not by state or national laws.

Maybe we should work from the top down potheads!
