OK, why exactly is marijuana illegal? No one has ever died from it, it is more benign than Valium, and it grows like a weed in anyones garden in all 50 states.
Who is afraid of marijuana? More specifically, what makes someone so afraid of marijuana that they try to instill their beliefs, by force and incarceration if necessary, on others?

Well, let's see.. My neighbor's daughter was molested by a 'it's just marijuana' fellow who lived on the other side of the street. His defense in court was that he wasn't responsible, it was the drugs that did it. I suppose he's afraid of the plant now, considering he's going to be in prison for a long time.
The guys who stole my hubcaps did it to pay for their drugs...
The only two thefts we had at our store were both marijuana users, and both stole to pay for their habit. (One of them grew it themselves, but needed the money for the electric bill.)
These might be some reasons why it is illegal; I'm willing to listen to alternatives, but wholesale legalization likely won't be an option in either of our lifetimes.
