It's no so much the fact that it's illegal, but more the fact that you can't get into a decent job or even school without passing a pee-test. Plus the fact that if you get hurt on the job, they drug test you, and if you're positive they can fire you and not pay for ****. The social stigma behind it makes it extremely difficult to be both a recreational drug user and a productive member of society at the same time. Changing the law would shift the social stigma over time, maybe eventually to the point where you could use drugs responsibly and not look like the spawn of satan in Joe Public's eye.
