The war of drugs has been done badly. Of course it's ridiculous that people's homes get raided because they have some pot. That doesn't mean legislation needs to jump to the other end of the spectrum. You can forbid trade of cannabis and at the same time NOT put users in jail.

Why forbid trade?

[brazzy]

To avoid having someone who has an incentive to work towards more widespread use.

Why do we need to avoid widespread use of a plant that has significant potential medical purposes and is less toxic than caffeine?

We currently prohibit trade, and yet there are still drug dealers...

[brazzy]

So?
