Yes. While cannabis is unproblematic to most users, some cannabis users experience substance abuse disorders that are hurting their health and social relations. They should receive qualified and empathetic care, not condemnation and criminalisation.
Yeah, you're right, sorry. They're acting like legalizing pot is done purely to feed addiction and that "empathetic rehabilitation" of those addicted is an alternative to legalization/will make legalization unnecessary, so I still disagree with their original comment, but I shouldn't have so flippantly dismissed the concept of addiction.
