Well, marijuana can be a controlled substance, although it does have the same affects of alcohol. Yes marijuana can be addictive, and people who are, are called "potheads". But our government legalizes alcohol, and that can be addictive, that's why in America we have people called "alcoholics". If they are going to make marijuana illegal, they might as well just make ALL drugs illegal. Because if you think about it... alcohol is a drug.

When the United States made alcohol illegal (Prohibition) the crime rates went up. If people want to drink beer they will, even if they have to buy it from a mafia. There has to be regulations that have to be enforced such as: a legal drinking age, a legal alcohol level, no driving while drunk... etc. Alcohol taxes help the government improve the United States and its citizens, and when its being sold by mafias, the money made from the alcohol goes towards more crime. We see this a lot in the current debate "should weed be legal", if the government sold it the Mexican Cartels would not exist today.
