Because it's really hard to take away something that is legal. I don't think that is a good argument for legalising other harmful things.

A lot less harmful especially for third parties.

I agree, it is really hard to take something away that is established. About 10% of germans consume Cannabis at least once a year even though it is illegal. [1]

Keeping cannabis illegal has the same effect as prohibition of alcohol: higher substance concentration, more black market and greater health risks by acquisition through dubios sources.

The benefit of driving is mobility, what's the benefit of being drunk?

If you’re drinking it purely to get drunk then I’d probably agree with you.
