At least kill the rationalization. Just because nobody else is perfect doesn't mean that it's okay for you to break the law.
You missed the point..completely. There are many many retarded laws out there that people simply ignore. You know, I just had about 5 drinks, a little buzzed, feeling nice. How does it make any ****** sense that I can be able to have a few drinks, but not smoke a joint? Pot laws are retarded, and like other retarded laws, I'll just ignore them.
You frothing at the mouth about law will not change anyone's mind...

If that was your point, why didn't you say it in the first place?
And you know what? You may be right. I know at least one smoker who outranked me in high school. Like I said before, it's all about personal responsiblity, like almost every other issue in the world. There's simply no way to govern it unless you say "You can smoke, you cannot". That'd be good, but it flies in the face of our whole 'Everyone must be treated the same' thing we have going here in the US.
Wow you guys talk about doing illegal things and when people tell you to stop breaking hte law, you get offended?
I mean you're on the wrong side of the law and you want to tell people to shut up? You have like 0 moral credibility backing you up, so just shut up. Threadcrapping? No, we're saying the truth and what's right.

So the solution is obvious: let everyone smoke up and let them worry about the effects. The truth of the matter is that pot doesn't have much of an effect on people's lives, I've seen enough smokers to realize that the losers would have turned out to be losers regardless of whether they used weed. To give you some anecdotes:
-two guys I know started out with weed then moved on to other things, one fo them us currently in rehab. they're 21 and their lives are going nowhere - they had trouble graduating from HS, are in debt from CCs and don't have jobs. I think one of them is even geting married..
-two other guys (the ones I usually smoke with) went the same path as me: HS easily, then unversity (one's in CS, one in Chem Eng, I'm in Comp Eng). The CS guy is working for IBM, I'm working for RIM, the other guy will liekly be going out west for a job in the oil industry. Most poeple would call that "successful", at least certainly on that path...
-thee other guys (the ones I live with right now) also went the same path, HS, university. 2 are in CS, 1 in Chem Eng. All have decent marks, decent jobs etc.
Fact is, by making pot illegal, you are not helping people you are only creating obstacles for people like me. If one were to follow the same line of reasoning, we'd have to ban alcohol, tobacco, fatty foods...there would be no end to the madness.
5 years ago today I joined this fine website. And in honor of this fine day I will smoke a fatty.
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
Seriously, I don't engage in what these guys do, but when I was young, my mother taught me the common courtesy to mind my own business. There should be a law against making ridiculous posts, probably just to get a reaction. Here's one: worry about you own life, what you say means nothing to these people. I can promise you that not one single person on this earth will follow or break a law because you tell them to on this forum.
By the way, that avatar looks a lot like George Washington, who broke quite a few laws AND grew Cannabis. However, I think the one he is more known for is treason against the British government. I guess he was wrong for going against an established law, huh?
And just to blow this ENTIRELY out of the water:
Alcohol was made illegal in 1919. Heroin was legal until 1924. According to your logic, Marijuana is worse than alcohol, which, in turn, is worse than heroin. Cocaine was also available over-the-counter and in Coca-Cola right around the time of Prohibition. If you want to know why Cannabis is illegal, do some actual research on the law instead of just looking at a few high, red-eyed, lazy morons. There is a doctrine from a U.S. Congressman (I forget which one) stating that Cannabis was the cause for white women listening to jazz music and falling into the arms of negro men. The law was created out of fear and ignorance, and the reason it has not been (and never will be) repealed is twofold. First, the U.S. government has enough problems with alcohol - if you think alcohol isn't that bad, think again - alcohol and alcohol-related incidents are one of the top 3 leading causes of death in this country. The other reason would be that it's impossible to tax something anyone can grow at their own home. So don't worry, you will remain in a perfectly safe America, free from the evils of cannabis, where you, Billy Bob, and the rest of your buddies are free to drink "wife-beating juice" to your heart's content.

At least you put some thought into it.
It's much more complicated than that, though... as you alude to in the 2nd half of your post.
For every alcoholic, there are 10 that use alcohol responsibly(yet still recreationally). It's the same way with cannabis.
There is no logical reason for it to be against the law. It is against the law not because it was "deemed unacceptable for society", but because there were huge lobbies with a lot of money against it.
Doesen't matter anyway. It being against the law means nothing. People who want to use it are going to use it, just like people who wanted to drink alcohol still drank during prohibition.
