Women have been wearing makeup for centuries. The only women that I knew growing up that didn't use makeup were in the Holiness church.
MaryJane doesn't always lead to other drug use, but I can see why it probably does.
I am something of a libertarian and decriminalizing drugs has always been of interest to me. The benefits might be eliminating the profit that drug cartels. I don't think organized crime would go out of business if we legalized drugs.
There is already a huge problem with the selling of legal, prescription drugs. I suspect that problems would persist even after legalizing drugs.

Because it's traded on the black market. Your merchant will have other illegal wares to sell, and one might be tempted to try something different.

If MJ was sold in the state liquor store alongside the bourbon and vodka, the tendency for pot use to lead to cocaine or heroin would be diminished.
