There's nothing objective wrong with banning alcohol, the problem compared to other drugs, is how easy it is to make it yourself. Any idiot can produce it at home.
Well, it's not super easy. It's not hard by any means, but there is some chemistry going on. It's not meth or coke hard though.
Pot, on the other hand, can be grown by anybody with 4 brain cells to rub together. The yields would be garbage, but you'd have something, in time, if you just tossed a bunch of seeds in your backyard and stopped cutting the grass there for a couple of months.
