Why is marijuana illegal and alcohol and tobacco discouraged and heavily taxed, but legal? It's cultural and historical.

Insufficient reason for maintaining an irrational policy. Legal slavery was once "cultural and historical."

Not a good analogy. Few slaves had the opportunity to escape their condition. Drug users have a choice: observe the law, move to a country where drug laws are not enforced, or break the law and risk the consequences.
