uhhh...because the War on Drugs is a failed endeavor that mostly led to disproportionate jailing of black and brown Americans for smoking a plant? Because the illegal market is going to happen anyway, so the state might as well legalize, regulate, and collect taxes on it? Because legalization significantly suppresses the black market, which makes it more difficult for minors to access cannabis? Those are just three reasons I thought of off the top of my dome. There are plenty more.
Cannabis does not create a physical addiction, only a psychological one. Should we outlaw Oreos because people get addicted to those?
