You'll never get a firm answer from anyone who blindly follows the law. The best you can hope for is "because it is a DRUG!" or "because it is illegal."
I'm pretty sure that any discerning individual could only answer honestly by saying, "Pot is not worse than alcohol." To be honest, I think politicians are simply too scared to go back on so many years of prohibition. What would they say? "Oh, well, we've been wrong for decades and we take it back?" Think of all the pot dealers languishing in prison right now. They deserve an apology, but do you think any politician would be willing to give them one? I don't.
