You make some reasonable points but the implication, that cannabis is as benign as water, is farcical.

The popularity of cannabis doesn’t justify pretending it’s entirely harmless.

Consumed as an inhalant it’s impossible to claim that it won’t have similar negative impacts to putting anything in our lungs which isn’t clean air.

Consumed orally the harm will be in the dose. But there no evidence that the doses people consume for their pleasurable effect are within the safe range long term.

I am sure based on the available evidence cannabis is less harmful than alcohol, but it’s so unproductive that any research on its harms is immediately shouted down by fans who want to pretend it’s “water”.
