I can tell you, the only times I was ever out of control or aggressive was when I was drunk on alcohol.

Smoking grass, the biggest entertainment was watching TV or listening to music, that's all you needed. If every alcoholic replaced their booze with grass, this would be a much better world. If you haven't tried it, then don't knock it. .
IMHO, if the government permits selling of alcohol, and limits the age of use, why wouldn't they monitor marijuana use in the same way. It's a profitable business, just ask the Drug Lords. A lot of critics base opinions on lack of knowledge. Of course grass shouldn't be used when driving or working. I know a lot of people on drugs for depression or anxiety. A little medical marijuana might really cheer them up. The biggest side effect is not aggression, but unrestrained hilarity.
