Define relatively harmless when its proven you lose critical brain matter when you smoke marijuana, also the "huge demand" you are talking about would subside fairly quickly with watered down, regulated and taxed marijuana. We have enough trouble and costs associated with controlling legal tobacco and alcohol abuse now, we dont need to add marijuana to that list. Good economic policy... maybe but certainly not good social policy.
