Depending on the legislation of certain countries cannabis has a different legal status. Yet some countries have justified law to penalise those that manufacture it. I don’t know the full reasoning behind it.
there’s purported benefits and drawbacks to cannabis with research on it ongoing which sometimes contradicts.
Some research suggests that habitual use of cannabis can cause various health problems mostly mental ones but then again other research shows that it can cure various physical ailments.
In light of this should it be legalised everywhere ?
Morphine has health benefits but it’s absolutely illegal. 
has 0 health benefits and it’s perfectly legal.

On balance, it probably should. Even if that is just to redirect a large amount of money from organised crime to the government. Cannabis is also certainly less dangerous than alcohol, in my opinion.
Your point being ? I suppose society must have some safeguards as morphine is highly addictive and in the wrong hands causes numbness and death. Pain is a biological response and chronic use of morphine to alleviate pain is justified imo. What does legality have to do with it ?
Addiction is viewed in a bad light in most situations. The compounds we’re discussing, most of them cause dependence. There are many ways to approach the issue. How would you?
