If that's the objective moral code decided by nature...
Your argument would be plausible if Marijuana was fruit.
My argument does not depend on which part of the plant is deemed useful.
Objective morality *IS* decided by what we anthropomorphically refer to as "nature". The economic equivalent is referred to as "the invisible hand."
Nature allows for great variety to coexist and is in constant flux. Traits may survive for a while, die out, and even come back. Nature is amoral. Moral judgement only exists in the observer's mind.

"Moral judgement" is the anthropomorphization of social dynamic survival traits.
Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand" is the anthropomorphization of financial dynamic survival traits.

are you not listening to me? The problem is solved
The Internet is buzzing about a new breed of marijuana that apparently causes no buzz of its own. Israeli researchers have bred cannabis plants that look, smell and taste like ordinary marijuana — but lack THC, the active ingredient responsible for the spacy, giddy and sometimes hallucinatory part of pot’s high.
What’s the point of weed that doesn’t get you high, you ask? The new product could potentially fight conditions ranging from schizophrenia to Alzheimer’s disease.
The new marijuana USN’t just low-THC ditch weed or hemp by a different name. Tzahi Klein of the Israeli company Tikkun Olam and his colleagues have created a strain of pot that lacks THC but is abundant in cannabidiol (CBD), typically the second most common active compound in cannabis.

Now we can have pot that has the 90 percent of the medical effects that it is proclaimed to have without the nasty drug addicting high that is associated with it. a crop that hemp is the byproduct so cheap paper , cloth, rope, and a myriad of other products
Unless of course you only reason is to get high then who would want this stuff.
I really need to get off vacation I am turning into a troll
Nobody is going to smoke it if it doesn't make them high. Unless it will crossbreed or otherwise supplant existing stocks of weed, it isn't going to address the problem.

"And yet you cannot respond to the China example? You must have a different meaning for the word "laughable"."
Actually I have responded, you replied with crickets...
Last time I checked, China not merely wasn't destroyed, they were a serious strategic challenge, in spite of the fact their draconian drug policies have failed to prevent recreational drug use. In fact, it is only their statism and consequent malinvestment that threatens them.
Not the drug use which continues.
