Addiction is a nasty thing honesty, we should make hard people ti start in the first place.
Even marijuana who people swore up and down for a long time it was inocuous is now known to have negative brain health effects, sure you can argue that alcohol and smoking are worse, and you are right, but they’re bad too.
IDK, sure some people may have healthy relationships with this stuff, but meet someone who doesn’t, and ask you how much good does to society access to this stuff.

Maybe but read into the history of prohibition and its pretty clear that ‘making it hard to start’ carries much bigger problems for society than any individual risk of addiction.
Criminalization feeds Black markets, which leads to more organized crime. Also creates stigma which makes addicts less likely to seek out help. I’d you care about addicts, or society, dont advocate for ‘making it harder’. It’s antithetical to those positions, as it doesn’t help ANYTHING.
