Weed being illegal boosts incarceration rates, reduces personal freedom among the general public, and makes illicit drug use less socially acceptable. Whether those are pros or cons depends on who you ask.
As for all the shit you normally hear about car crash death, violent crime, youth usage rates, and suicide -- that's all fake according to the best data available from the US. It's not exactly a scientific experiment and studies of entire states don't hold all else equal, but this is the best I've ever seen:

It's unhealthy but it doesn't make you high. @RadiantRuby
@Spoiledbrat Absolutely true in my country weed is legal so now by law you can’t drive while high, it’s as driving dangerously as being intoxicated by alcohol

@EvilGenius It's smart to decriminalize it, I think. Not many people do illegal and harmful activities while under the influence of marijuana. They're usually chill or laughing at something stupid or hanging out with friends. It saves room in prisons for people who really should be behind those walls.

I have no idea. I don't even use it. I guess I don't really care.

Basically because a newspaper tycoon who owned a paper mill and acres of trees didn't want any competiton from hemp. So he pleaded with this lunatic named Anslinger and they drummed up a racist moral panic.
Many years go on and police and prisons realize there is a lot of fucking money to be made making personal habits a criminal offense.

That's what I was going say. It's actually expensive to keep it illegal. @Darksideinthenight2
