Hypocrisy and miss-information are the only reasons it is still illegal.
Personally I feel that as the public becomes more informed the more likely that decriminalization and even complete legalization is possible. Legalization and regulation can bring tax dollars, save on enforcement and incarceration and reduce crime.
On a side note I believe we can be doing a better job with addiction services in this country. I've never heard of someone is was using marijuana only needing such services but tax dollars brought in from the regulated sale of marijuana can help provide funding for improved addiction services.
It's hard to find a down side.
