Serious question about pot.?

I was talking about pot the other day, I don't smoke it, and I like to see both sides. I can't think of one reason that pot is illegal. Can anyone tell me a reason against it being legalized. Not a political rant, just want to know.

    The young brain is still developing and

    as such is adversely affected by mind altering substances.

    Pot is a mild one, but no less a dangerous substance,

    with regards to the developing mind, this is why teenagers

    should NOT smoke pot.

    as for it being illegal, I'm really not so sure, Parents

    can exercise control to the extent that their children are

    not smoking pot.

    so what about it PARENTS? will you do your job, or do you what

    the police to do it for you?

    It should be legal.

    This is a fact (oh and i don´t use it too)

    But many friends of mine do and those people are definitely NOT criminals.

    But fact is unfortunately it won´t become totally legal soon :(

    I think the ONLY reason it hasn't been completely legalized is because there are no sobriety tests for it.
