For the record,I don't understand the point of booze and tobacco,but those things are legal. Why make just another bad thing for you,legal. It benifits no one. If I had my way,booze and tobacco would be outlawed. There's no benefit in any of these things. 

Well if they would ban booze and tobacco i would agree with you. But since that is never going to happen and because marijuana is much less damaging than alcohol and actually healthier to smoke than tobacco there is no reason to keep it banned.

If you're still wondering why it should be legal, just look why they turned back the ban of alcohol in the U.S. a hundred years ago. Keeping something like this illegal simply means much more crime and illegal trade.

 

Surprisingly alcohol is still banned in many communities, especially in Alaska. It's still not working.

You don't solve substance abuse by banning the substance. Definitely not with ones so easily grown or made.
