Sure, but in general it's not a good idea to start doing any drug, no matter if it's cannabis, heroin, alcohol, tobacco or whatever.
I have so often heard people who were against legalization because they seemed to believe that by legalizing a drug like cannabis, the government kind of claims that this drug is perfectly safe and unproblematic. In my opinion, that's a big misundertanding: Legalizing drugs is not a seal of harmlessness for that drug; instead it simply illustrates the insight that drugs don't disappear just because they are forbidden, and that the problems surrounding this drug can be better dealt with if the people consuming it are not criminalized.
