Alcohol used to be illegal in the United States at one point, but all that did was create more crime and inconvenience the people who enjoyed drinking. If we took your idea and kept it illegal because it was illegal, that wouldn't have helped anyone.
I can enjoy having a few drinks in the evening after work, and alcohol isn't ruining my life. Pot users do the same thing. So why should one be legal and the other not?

So in other words, you're one of those Puritan bastards who get offended that other people are enjoying something and think you have to ban it.
And I suppose in your utopian society, you're the one who gets to choose what is harmful and what isn't? What happens when someone else decides they don't like something you're eating and decide to ban it?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
