You're kidding right? I have many times on this site, including this thread, stated reasons why it should be legal.
I know it's not a suprise on which side of the fence I'm on but the big picture I don't care and mainly for the reason you stated, because it's already easy to get. So making it legal won't change that, if anything it will make more difficult, 7-11 won't deliver.
I also have a lot of friends in the 'industry' and they know more than anyone that legalization means they have no income. Some of these guys could have made ~$100,000 year with their schooling but instead make that every couple months taking care of some plants. They can't compete with what the government could easily do in terms of producing and selling marijuana.
And to be honest your
'I have two friends who smoke pot and suck at life' and
'will someone please think of the children' aren't good enough reasons to keep it illegal. There is more harm for a society to keep it illegal, like alcohol was in 20's, so why not take the benefits that can come with it to help those who will need it regardless of it being legal or illegal.
edit: Also you aren't offending me in anyway, I love this debate.
