But it's just as hypocritical.

Is it? I'd buy weed but not sell it. I'll watch porn but not produce it. I'll read a book but not write one.
Last time I checked Google didn't sell weed, didn't produce porn and didn't write books. You wouldn't, but I would, thanks to your moral standards I can't do business, because US with your legacy regulations on Internet allowed Google became sheriff of the internet.
I believe marijuana (and many other intoxicants) should be legal. But I wouldn't sell it because I'm afraid of legal repercussions. That's not hypocrisy, it's self-preservation.
