Abuse and/or harassment is already unlawful, and is the use of force against another. Have the person arrested for abuse/harassment. Problem solved. No need to outlaw a plant that has many other uses.

I disagree with you.
For someone to deliberately make themselves insensible to a large degree or another, or to make themselves crazy on purpose, or to make themselves incompetent; is a direct threat to me.
I don’t want to wait until I am attacked; or run over; or some stoned slob burns the building down; I don’t want to wait until someone neglects their kids to death or harm, or forgets to turn off the stove because they are too interested in smoking their crack, or decides to go ahead and rape me because they are so horny and the self control is set aside, or abuses their grandpa because it all of a sudden seems funny, or takes pot shots at cars because it’s so cool when you’re high.
I know you can be prosecuted afterwards. That is a cold comfort.
Most of the above can happen accidentally. And it can happen if someone is crazy through no fault of their own. Those are tragedies.
To deliberately increase your likelihood of doing anything like the above is criminal.
