Just because you're not dying from an overdose doesn't mean it's not a dangerous drug. Your picture even says it's leaving out indirect deaths but even if we ignore death altogether you still have to account for the social damage that smoking marijuana can inflict. If a drug causes you to get kicked out of your house for stealing from your parents, I would consider it dangerous.

Same with most illegal drugs, in fact the only reason most drugs are illegal is because the government realized that these drugs are change the mind in such profound ways that it harms the government's control of the masses.

Weed wouldn’t cause you to steal from your parents unless you were going to do it regardless. There’s no real addiction factor and it is abundant and cheap (I haven’t really paid for weed in years).
As far as the social aspect, weed is largely a communal thing. It did get me grounded in highschool and I might have lost my virginity sooner had I not been constantly grounded, but it’s now legal where I live. Even my mom smokes now.

Weed is a drug that makes you apathetic, dumb and can induce schizophrenia. thats why it is being pushed so much everywhere, and artificially being associated with revolutionary leftism and other transgressive ideologies - they want idealistic young people to be neutralized politically.
For the schizo stuff read: Alex Berenson - Tell Your Children The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence - free on libgen.
THC stays in the brain's fat storages for ~2 months, so even if you smoke once a month you are suffering from the negative consequences uninterruptedly. It binds to cannabinoid receptors, which are ubiquitous in the brain, resulting in structural changes.
Cannabis use is correlated with reduced grey matter volume of the orbitofrontal cortex (decision making, emotional control, learning), probably because of accelerated synaptic pruning, and the brain compensates for these changes by increasing connectivity (with chronic use the brain stops compensating). I'm not sure if these effects still exist if you are over 25 though.
The lower IQ causation is hard to establish but there definitely is correlation, in multiple studies, and i wouldn't risk lowering my IQ for hedonistic pleasure.

Gotta hand it to Gravity's Rainbow. I know it's a meme novel around here, but man, it changed my life. I'd grown up thinking reading was homework. A novel was drudgery for me. This attitude lasted way into my high school years, a time when if I wasn't asleep in class I was skipping and hanging out in a buddy's basement doing bong hits. We'd play this game where we would get high and make up a crazy scenario like, OK, what if everything was very serious, right, like it was a serious place and time and everywhere you looked everything was highly serious, but what if at exactly the point when everything was at its most serious and you expected the next moment to continue the trend of utmost seriousness, what if, at that very moment, a gorilla wearing a fez on a giant unicycle rode by. My friends and I would collapse into convulsions of laughter, punching each other and slapping our knees. "No! Stop it! Fucking stop it!" a teary red face would choke out. We called it The Game, and normally we only played it while we were blazed in a basement, but once in a while we would play it in school. One fateful afternoon a few of us numbskulls had detention together. We sauntered in (high, of course) and sat down to serve our time. At some point we started to play The Game, right there in detention. Our supervisor, an English teacher who was known for being kind of a hardass, was for some reason being super chill that afternoon. We occasionally got pretty loud with our laughter, but not even once did he tell us to keep it down. He just sat there at the desk reading a newspaper. We even got a few chuckles out of him. Then, with fifteen minutes left of our sentence, he folded up the newspaper, came over to us, and sat down on a desk. He was holding a thick book. "Here," he said, "I think you guys might get a kick out of this." We read the cover: Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. OK, we said. We were skeptical, but we took the book. I was the first one to read it. My mind was blown. This guy Pynchon had been playing The Game since the early 70s. You think that since the book's about World War II that it's going to be all serious. But then you're like, wait, whaaaat? Did that guy just go down the toilet? Why is there a pie fight during the serious war? Why is there weird sex happening? Weed? This guy Pynchon blew all our random scenarios out of the water. I gave it to the other guys to read, and we agreed to stop playing The Game entirely. We decided to leave it to the master. Thomas Pynchon, whoever you are, we salute you.
