It's way past time to raise marijuana to the legal dignity
of alcohol. Anyway, pot is far less dangerous in every way
than booze. Well, except for the danger of going to jail
for possessing it; and that is what, in the name of common
sense, must change.

Not viable for me until you don't have to smoke it - make a nice
cheap THC pill (or liquid for that matter) and legalize it with
varying levels of concentration so you don't get blown away by
some of the really potent stuff out these days - or even better
legalize a little mescaline or some liquid psilocybin.
