Here in Canada, it has been rather eye opening the extent of cannabis use. There are more cannabis shops then mcdonalds. You can grow your own and most people do. There's online options.

A society which criminalizes something so popular and widely used; will ultimately fail at their prohibition.

The next step for society would be to attempt at changing opinion, but what are the unintended consequences? The answer is, bad news.

So .. all the countries in the world, e.g. Japan, China, Singapore, UAE, etc., etc., where marijuana is very illegal, failed? It seems to be working just fine for them. Since we can provide numerous counter examples to your claim isn't your claim instantly invalidated?
