For some reason alcohol is more socially acceptable than pot. Legalizing it would create more drug addicts, but who knows if the good (controlling/profiting from distribution, less crowded prisons perhaps, more attention spent on drug addiction treatment perhaps, less criminal activity perhaps) outweighs the bad (more drug addicts and the ramifications thereof).
