In my opinion people who can’t see that marijuana use is harmful to the individual who uses it

As I've said, I'll tell anyone who asks that (absent medical need) they're better off staying away from it, along with alcohol and tobacco. What I am is pro-ending-the-harms-of-pot-criminalization, most notably the enrichment of criminals.

Sounds like 0bamian collectivism to me - how do these "harms to society" constitute an authorization of government coercion?

"What I am is pro-ending-the-harms-of-pot-criminalization, most notably the enrichment of criminals."
