"...alcohol is having similar effects on society as other drugs.I don't think it should be made illegal because it has historcial societal acceptance."

Does this mean that you propose legalization of other drugs in countries with a previous history of social acceptance of these instead of alcohol?

"Obesity is a medical/geneology issue. It is not caused by eating butter."

Obesity is easily cured by eating less. If it is within the mandate of the state to force the individual to healthier lifestyle, especially if the reason is to minimize expenditure on health care etc, mandatory exercise and a carefully regulated government approved diet should top the agenda.

"Allow a company to profit from marijuana and they will market, package and promote the use of it to new unbelievable hieghts."

I was under the impression that profits were currently being made in this commodity... But, silly me - since it's not legal it can't possibly be marketed, packaged and promoted!
