Why not make it legal to be able to carry up a certain amount of marijuana?

Possession marijuana is illegal because it's the 'will of the people'. That means that the majority of voting Americans are not ready to decriminalize marijuana. When or if the voting population is more accepting of the idea, the laws will change.None of the arguments or science, pro or con, for marijuana use have much bearing on the current laws, they are strictly based on the opinion of the majority of the population. Posting your point of view, facts and figures on either side of the issue does not answer this question.Added: In addition - SOME jurisdictions HAVE de-criminalized the possession of marijuana up to a certain amount of the drug, and others (i.e.: California) have legallized its purchase and possession for medical purposes.
