What you are saying, then, is that pot smokers are unable to conform their behavior to the requirements of the law; or are behaving unacceptably at home; but do not have any insight into the effect their use has had on their behavior as assessed by responsible adults.

What I'm saying is gthat plenty of people check themselves into rehab for drugs such as coke and heroin. What is it about pot that makes it different?

Nothing about pot makes it different. Coke and heroin users who check themselves in to rehab almost always do it under duress, just like you said about pot users. They tend to be adults, so they don't need their parents to do it for them, but they don't have any better sense than pot users until the heat is on, and their attorney or employer lays down the ultimatum.

In fact, they pretty much all started out as pot users, who believed they could do whatever they wanted and somehow not pay the piper.
