1. It is immoral to throw someone in a cage for doing something that doesn't harm another person.

2. If you are concerned that people will ruin their own lives with pot, it seems counterproductive to preemptively ruin their lives by turning them into criminals and making it that much harder for them to find employment and become productive members of society.

3. Prohibition doesn't work, anyway.

That is actually a compelling line of reasoning. Well said.
