Just like any substance, such as alcohol or tobacco, the use of marijuana can be beneficial when done by a person with discipline, intelligence, and self-awareness. It can very easily make you into a zombie who is happy accomplishing nothing, but it can have physical health benefits and be a boon to creativity when used correctly.
Based on what I've observed in this world, there is no reason to ever expect the masses to act responsibly without the threat of immediate force. Unless you want to create a police state where all actions are monitored (which has desirable results in some ways but imo the ends don't justify the means and it would probably be in the hands of the malicious anyway), marijuana should be legal and welfare should be depleted. Then, nature will do it's thing to people who self select out of the gene pool
Vet them, make them sign some kind of contract, only send certain passages to certain people, use an alias (if you were planning to do that when it releases)
I don't know specifically what you're concerned about with a breach of trust but surely there's a solution to it.

IN CLINICAL, SCIENTIFIC OR PHARMACOLOGICAL SETTINGS. NOT AS A FUCKING PERSONAL DRUG. Utter nonsense.
I still don't understand why you haven't tried to crowd source the editing on your book
How can I trust anyone?
