They already tried that. This doesn't really help your argument. You would do better by showing how prohibition
did not work.
I am not against legalization of pot, and agree that it is not as potentially dangerous as alcohol. But this
my drug is better than your drug mentality of pot advocates will not win many converts.
If illicit drugs were as widespread and abused as alcohol and tobacco, we would see some quite different statistics. MJ is not a hard drug, does not cause death, but it is not perfect either (as too many pot advocates seem to insinuate). I have seen that abuse can lead to many problems. Abuse of ANY drug is harmful. Moderate use of MJ and alcohol are not very harmful. And they BOTH have medicinal uses -- not just MJ.
