re: Give me one good reason why marijuana should be illegal while alcohol shouldn't

Post legalization, the person can explain away a positive drug test (urinalysis) after an accident by saying they smoked recently but they were not under the influence when it happened. Pot is legal and with no way of knowing if they were stoned when they killed or injured somebody, they get off free and clear. That's not OK.

I would be more concerned about someone using a cell phone and being inattentive while driving than I would be with someone having recently smoked marijuana. If or when someone is killed by a driver under the influence of marijuana, I'm going to suspect something else besides the marijuana causing the accident, unless of course the individual is guilty of something like trying to roll a joint while driving, which should be listed on a "dangerous and stupid things one should not do while driving" list.
