Simple. Look at the possible motives for doing it.

When people take fatigue inducing drugs, generally the intent isn't to have a good time. It can be further implied that in most, not all cases of fatigue inducing drugs, it is to assist with sleep (this is referring to drugs *meant* exclusively for insomnia, not necessary drugs like Gravol where drowsiness is a repercussion of the ingrediants).

When people take marijuana, it is generally to have a good time. While in some cases it can be used as a painkiller, that is most definately not the reason the stoners I knew in high school did it. Compare it to alcohol. People use it to have a good time. That's fine. But sometimes, and more often then it should be, that involves someone doing something they definately should not be doing for the sake of the people around them. This is where the problems with marijuana come in. The question on the legalization, as far as I'm concerned, is why bother add another pinch of rat poison to the mix? If I had it my way, ethanol alcohol for pleasure would be quite illegal. I don't really care to have another death in the family as a result of someone under the influence-- and as such, I'd rather not add more influences to the system for the sake of the people around me.
