Valid points, but I'd have 2 points in response:
(1.) You've provided the guns-don't-kill-people argument. The counter
is, of course, that it wasn't the weed that killed anyone, it was the
misuse of it (and probably some other stuff). If we hold doobies to
this standard then we should hold beer, guns, toasters, etc to the
same.
(1a.) The illegality of the drug did not prevent it's misuse.
One might even argue that the legality of it may have.
(2.) Anybody that wants to use marijuana already is so you're not
going to see much of a stock jump at YUM. The point here is that by
removing a law you're probably doing society a favor in terms of
costs. That is, no legal mumbo jumbo for weed, no jail time for low
level weedies who then learn more serious crimes, etc.
