I am all for legalization, but sure, some people have problems moderating themselves. That is unfortunate, but maybe if marijuana was legal, educating people about proper use wouldn't be so taboo. Finding help might not be as shameful or detrimental to their image either if what they are doing is at least legal.
Personally, I think prohibition actually promotes binge use of the drug. It's illegal to have, so many people use it up as quickly as to not have it on them or in their home for very long. The mentality just creates an environment for abuse.
