Alcohol is legal, why not marijuana?

I will start out first that I understand that there is too much money in petroleum and the paper industry and the pharmaceutical industry to let it become legal. It could cause damage to all of the above by offering a very low cost and low maintenance alternative to all of them. Without any retooling or massive upgrades, even non-THC bearing Hemp could be used to make a very affordable bio-diesel. I have sat at a desk before that at first glance was standard plastic until I found out that it was made of hemp. Aside from the serious reasons for us to use Hemp, marijuana has significant uses in medicine and recreation. With it's total lack of damage to the human liver and it's lack of triggering aggression, I find it to be much more appealing socially as an inebriant. If you are interested in knowing more about intensive studies done on it's societal impacts and on it physical effects, just check out the "Safer Choice".org website. The people at safer choice have actually caused a massive drop in alcohol related crimes, hard drug crimes, domestic abuse, and petty incarcerations in the Denver,CO are by getting recreational use of marijuana decriminalized. I think it is high time for more highly populated areas to start experimenting. I would gladly give up my scotch and beer for a safer alternative like marijuana.
