The same could really be said about tobacco, alcohol and whatnot. Given I don't smoke it myself, what one perceives as bad may be perceived as good to another.

Alcohol is legal and impairs your ability and judgement, marijuana is illegal and impairs your ability and judgement. When people drink, they normally smoke (cigarettes that is - most people, not all) so I honestly don't really see the issue.

Legal or illegal, people are still going to smoke marijuana. The government makes plenty off of the sale of alcohol, however, so illegalizing it would decrease their intake on taxes. Not everyone can simply produce their own alcohol, it'd be more expensive in the end. It's not that hard to grow a plant with a few seeds.

It'd be a bit harder to tax plant growth given it could easily be slung around everywhere (as it already is) given it's natural production and does not require intervention by man as alcohol does.

Maybe a bold statement, though I figure everyone knows the government makes a great deal from taxation of cigarettes and alcohol then turns right around and says don't drink and drive, smoking is dangerous, etc...Very contradicting to their method, however it sells.
