I think governments have this fear that if they legalised cannabis, they'd lose votes
and would have to deal with a lot of "Jim Doughface wants your child to be a heroin addict! Vote for Bob Custardhead, unless you're a junkie!" attack ads.

I think the governments have this fear of losing pocket-lining from the pharmaceutical companies
So many health issues and side effects could be treated with cannibas

never stopped me getting into work
they're worried about losing votes. The Daily Mail would front page any bad story about weed, it's so ingrained into its psyche and its readers prejudices

Well, lots of people have had GI effects from NSAIDs (I only included deaths, not hospitalizations)
but there are no documented cases of cannabis overdose. Also, some cannabinoids have been shown to treat asthma and (possibly) cancer, (as well as preventing Alzheimer's), so the number may well have to be negative rather than zero.

Given that cannabis is most often smoked rolled with tobacco I seriously doubt that it has an overall positive effect on asthma
