What are you talking about.
You are in trouble for it being illegal, not mind altering.
Try to keep up.
When you are in middle school you know whats legal and not legal.
You knew what was right and not right.
Its not the same.
The same way an expired parking meter is not hit and run, and wreckless driving.
Murder 1 is not involuntary manslaughter.
I see you have many more legal problems if you continue to choose the easy, fun, bad route, and try to rationalize it after the fact.
You are going to have a very rough time in your 20s.
Illegal drugs are never victimless unless you synthasize them youself in your baasement and take them and cost no one healthcare dollars, do not drive, do not get into any violence, burn your house down etc.
HUNDREDS of thousands of people have from drug trafficing violence. Cops get killed, judges kids get killed, border patrol are shot at. In almost every country in the world. Just detroit something like 90-95% of the violence is drug related. 400 per year killed is common, many thousands shot. Over 40 years, you do the math, just in detroit.
This is more of the rationalizing.
You do not think you did anything wrong.
You think the laws you broke were unjust, and even though you knew them, they did not apply to you. You are special for some weird reason.
I would suggest not getting a gun, and revisiting the idea in about 5 years.

A lot of the modern marijuana industry is pretty victimless. Decent people growing it in controlled conditions, paying license fees and taxes in addition to creating jobs and paying very high water electrical gas etc bills, selling it to a retailer, retailer sells it to people with licenses to possess/use. Then people share it with friends. Friends have it illegally and get busted. Then again, people with licenses are allowed to grow their own... so it may be exactly what you mentioned, then people sharing with friends. I can tell you for a fact that it's not uncommon. entirely possible that he really did do a victimless crime, or did things that may result in less crime, considering he may not have had to go buy from a drug dealer responsible for all the bad things you mentioned.

You know the first guy has like lots of history to back his claim it isn't victimless, yes? Just to kind of bring you back, to reality, he did buy illegally from a drug dealer. That's why he got in trouble.
Also, to the Op, you are an irresponsible person with flawed thinking. You can change and should change. It's for the better.
True. If you are specific to weed and recent.
They do have gangs buying it in legal states and taking to non legal states.
Its as much a crime as not paying taxes, or having the right licenses and I do not know anyone who does not pay taxes, or does not have the right hunting license, business license, etc and shrugs and says its victimless and people feel sorry for them or support them.
I support legalization of weed, but its become a folk hero. Its not magic, it does not cure cancer, its not all people make it out to be.
And just like anything else from parking in the wrong spot and getting towed at a college campus, and not going to your car for a week, now you owe $400 bucks or more, or not paying a ticket and it goes to warrant, or not doing the right stuff with permits etc etc etc a million regulations and rules out there you have to follow or it can cost you tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Little petty stuff turns into thousands in a hurry.

Okay okay... I'll stop arguing with you except for this one point... It's still too early to say what you said.
The use of cannabinoids as anticancer agents

Some people need to research the rise in crime, weed related road deaths etc. in Colorado before they make blanket statements about the legal way being victimless...
Jus' sayin'...
