"any narcotic, dangerous or abusable substance without a prescription."

Marijuana is not a narcotic.
Marijuana is not dangerous.
Every substance and activity is abusable, pretty much equally. Biochemical addiction is another matter, and only applies to specific drugs. Addiction as a METAPHOR is a stupid, unworkable metaphor for people wanting different things than you think they ought to want.
