I am waiting for something plausible to back that up.

Me, alcohol is so cultural to illegalize it would be a blow to the same. Of course, maybe marijuana is cultural to, just not my culture.

It was illegal in the USA before (1930's for those of you who really know nothing at all) and it made for an hell of a mess when it came to corruption, organized crime and a whole lot of byproducts. Can you see any parallel to the war on drugs? Maybe you should do some research before talking about your culture (this goes for both alcohol and Marijuana - especially the chapter about people inflicting injury on other people with full intent).
You might have mentioned "my culture" meaning your own opinions as an individual. In this case, just think there might come a time when something YOU see as part of your culture is made illegal. What then? What do you do?

My previous paragraph addresses this, I believe.
