Interestingly, after I stopped smoking weed recreationally I found that I care very little about this political issue

That's the problem. People who don't smoke just don't give a damn. So this violation of peoples rights continues. I quit smoking too but I still care about this subject because it's just wrong that people are allowed to Smoke tobacco and drink alcohol, but they aren't supposed to smoke weed, even though it's less harmful than the other two.

I would like for anyone who is anti-marijuana to give me one logical reason why alcohol should be legal when marijuana is illegal.

Many reports state that about 73% of felonies are alcohol-related.

Maybe because alcohol is legal & freely available.

Out of all intoxicants, Alcohol is the most likely to get its users in the hospital. Marijuana is #2. And whereas Alcohol has a long and storied use in American culture, Marijuana has been favored by elements of the "counter-culture" - that is, degenerates & the anti-social. Consequently, I favor increasing the penalties associated with its use as it's a useful method of keeping these undesirables off the street.
