Alcohol is far more intoxicating and dangerous than Marijuana. In my opinion Marijuana, like (almost) all drugs, should be legalized for private use and permitted for sale in stores. The very idea of banning drugs to promote public safety basically increases crime and creates a massive market for it which results in things like the cartel. Kind of counter-intuitive if you ask me. If someone wants to do it, they will find a way to do it. Banning drugs causes more problems than it prevents. Besides, we already have the worst one available for public use: Beer.

Health reasons.
Many of the supporters say it's "healthy" and "not bad for you".
Lung cancer? Proven. Other complications as well. Cigarettes should be banned as well, but that's just personal opinion, my main issue is the well-being of the people who decide to use it.

Banning something that is "bad" for people doesn't fix the problem. People should decide whats bad for them and if they want to do it by all means do it in private, but don't get me around it. And with the cancer thing, everything causes cancer nowadays apparently.
