And still alcohol is legal despite all proven destruction it causes

Because it's really hard to take away something that is legal. I don't think that is a good argument for legalising other harmful things.

I agree, it is really hard to take something away that is established. About 10% of germans consume Cannabis at least once a year even though it is illegal. [1]

Keeping cannabis illegal has the same effect as prohibition of alcohol: higher substance concentration, more black market and greater health risks by acquisition through dubios sources.

A lot less harmful especially for third parties.

The benefit of driving is mobility, what's the benefit of being drunk?

[badgersnake]

If you’re drinking it purely to get drunk then I’d probably agree with you.

It makes aforementioned mobility more fun /s
