The whole legalization issue is one of politics. We know it is wrong to impose our beliefs on others, even if we see them doing themselves harm. The fathers of our current democratic system like John Stuart Mill believed that no one is better at determining the greatest good for any individual than that individual. With certain exceptions for people like children, people should be free to find their own good as long as they are not harming anybody else. We don't legalize pot because of the U.S. The cotton industry was afraid of hemp. They funded propaganda during the '50s and created this negative hype that we have never been able to live down.
