"There are more rapes and murders than there used to be too. Should we make those acts legal?"

Cuckoo? Cuckoo? Comparing marijuana to rape and murder?

"Just because society is slidding downhill morally doesn't mean we should do away with all laws."

So tobacco and alcohol are moral? The legality/illegality of a given thing does not prove its morality/immorality.

Thinking for yourself can have some wonderful benefits.

I always find this argument so amusing. As if God follows the CSA. Like there's a special place in hell for those of us who smoke marijuana, but all the alcohol users get to pass though the pearly gates. God has some scale of vice where 3 joints = a line of coke = 1/2 tab of acid = tab of x, etc. Not only that, but God has communicated this scale to these morons so that they can decide for the rest of us what is and isn't moral and dole out appropriate punnishments here on earth. If it weren't so sad it would be funny.
