If people have the right to drink alcohol then we should also have the right to smoke weed. I understand the, "why should we legalize another harmful substance?" point of view. But, **** that. If marijuana is illegal then alcohol should be as well. If we really want to better society, keeping marijuana illegal isn't the way to do it. If we really want to better society then we would add alcohol to that list of illegal substances. Especially when you consider alcohol is much more harmful than marijuana. The reasons for the legal statuses of marijuana and alcohol clearly have nothing to do with peoples rights or the harm the substances can cause.
