Many of Eu countries like Netherlands,Spain followed by Italy, have already legalized marijuana, which i found it's the best way to fight black market drug dealers.

Alcohol is the only drug where you can die from getting clean by the way (no i dont mean the secondary effects like suffocating on vomit or something, you can die just because you dont have alcohol if you are addicted) and the addiction never ends. even if you are dry, one drop is enough to get you back. It makes no sense.
Marijuana is pretty much just like tobacco when you look at how addictive it is
Fake news. Cannabis is NOT addictive and anyone that says it is, is a brainless sheep that has absolutely no knowledge on the subject.it can generate more or less the same levels of adiction as tobacco and alcohol, so i dont see why not, though i dont think it should be legal to smoke in the street, tobacco or weed, the one thing i was surprised to learn is that public drinking is illegal in some countries though, just why?
then more of a reason for it being legalFake news. Cannabis is NOT addictive and anyone that says it is, is a brainless sheep that has absolutely no knowledge on the subject.
It is not a gateway drug, that is misinformation from governments, specifically USA government. USA government launched a misinformation campaign against cannabis. They made up the word marijuana to make cannabis sound like it was a Mexican drug. They said cannabis caused white women to have sex with black men, cannabis caused people to listen to jazz etc.the misuse of it shouldn't be a primary focus - People 'misuse' many things (alcohol, vehicles, glue, kitchen knives) with disastrous results.
I believe that it being termed a 'gateway' drug is correct, but only as a gateway to contact with a criminal fraternity with which some people would never have had any contact, so on this basis, and the funds it would take out of the black market, I think legalisation could be very positive.
incidentally, while we're on the subject of 'funds' working parties from UK visiting the fledgling medical cannabis businesses in USA just after startup, were accompanied by representatives from the UK treasury. I feel sure that they must have been viewing this as the new tobacco boom, with the billions in tax revenues which they could extract, so yeah, its gonna be legalised in UK.
the fact that alcohol and tobacco are legal bears no relevance to the legalization of cannabis. I agree that none are worse than the other, but we (in most of the the western world at least) have an already established culture and economy which includes them. If any of them were to be introduced in 2020, they all would face similar issues to become legal.
However, for strict medicinal use, cannabis should be legalized. Tobacco should be banned, it's just irrelevant in 2020.

9% of people that use marijuana become addicted to compared to

61% for Cigarettes.
Also the number of health issues marijuana causes vs cigarettes is much, much lower and even then, it can also be consumed without smoking so there really isn't a reason for it to not be completely legal.
