Well it is of consequence to the person doing it. It's terribly unhealthy and can ruin lives.
We should discourage by educating/warning people how bad it is. It's really worked for cigarettes.
In what way is a THC-infused chocolate chip cookie consumed in the privacy of my own home "terribly unhealthy" in relation to a regular one? In what way is THC eaten - not smoked - harmful to anyone? Got a link to a study, or something?
That aside, I believe what worked for cigarettes largely, was taxing them into unaffordability to minors and young adults, which is traditionally when the pushers tobacco companies got them hooked secured them as customers. Personally, I would have stuck it to the pushers rather than putting a regressive tax that disproportionately affected the poor. But that's just me.
