That site seems to talk about hardcore drugs more than marijuana. These are some of my reasons that marijuana should and will remain illegal:
First, when you're high, you have less cognitive ability. You don't do your job as well, you can't drive as well, and you're less alert in general.
Second, at least the way they're packed now, people can be affected by second-hand smoke. If people are allowed to smoke pot in public, it will affect others who want nothing to do with it.
Finally, it's not culturally acceptable. Unlike tobacco and alcohol, smoking marijuana is widely discouraged by the public, so they would never vote for it to be legal, and neither would those in public office. I'm sorry, but our culture dictates the legal system in which we live, so if you want to light up, move to a different country (or stop).
