To be a right it must be in the "Best Interest of Society" and that right will be enforced by the government. Just like laws that require a person be a certain age before they can vote, purchase a handgun, enter a strip club, be served alcohol and operate a motor vehicle.
The reason is simple, if you have a right .. in exercising your right you cannot step on another's rights. Imagine if there were no restrictions....
a seven - year = old could drive a car, buy a handgun, and vote...later he could walk into a strip club and get served. If you happen to be in that strip club at that time, you may be in danger and there is nothing no one can do because there is no law prohibiting this. Yes, we need to accept restrictions if we want it to be a right within society and keep society safe from harm.

Remember: " if we expect to make a change within the system, it is from within the system that a long lasting change will occur."
If we want to legalize weed we have to legalize it to the degree the government places logical restrictions on its use.
Also note, they do not have to prove it is harmful, it is the exact opposite in fact. FDA don't just release drugs until they are proven harmful to society, it is the opposite they don't release a drug until it is proven to be safe. If you want to legalize weed you need a very large group to be part of the long term study, that was suggested. But as in all scientific studies, you must be willing to accept both possible outcomes, and live with that result too.
