I see no benefit to making it legal. Unless you can show that there is a benefit to changing the law, it should not be changed.

I don’t understand why they don’t legalize it and regulate it like alcohol and tobacco. I don’t think you’ll see any good reasons to keep it illegal, other than to justify keeping thousands of people in jail and secure funding for the DEA.
