But, the WHOLE deal is predicated on the fact that the government and the booze companies will allow it... those who are addicted to the $$$ that they make off booze... which kills far more people and families.

It's really quite simple. If they leagalize pot, they legalize growing pot for personal use. Just like booze... you are allowed to brew your own wine and beer (not distill liquor, because that is far too complicated and dangerous).

So, if pot is legal, and you can grow yer own, the booze companies and the government don't get to extract money from the poor and uneducated.

Other than "medical pot", I do not advocate smoking pot, unless it saves a life from alcohol... which is an addictive and incidious form of torture advocated and promoted by the government for profit.
