So should be illigalise the other things like cigs and alcohol as they are really very bad for you too, alcohol causes mental issues both are phisicaly adictive, both can cause violence... It's not feasable, or else we would. 
Well exactly... so the idea is if we cant beat them, join them, yet its impossible to stop people illigaly selling and using marijuana, so it seems the same situation in many ways, so why not just allow it, then at least some control over it is in action...
Uhm. No. See, cannabis is a single, very specific plant, that needs relatively specific conditions in which to grow. Alcohol, on the other hand, can be made by any one of a number of yeasts, whose spores can be airborne. The conditions these yeasts need are very general and very difficult to track. A lot of people make alcohol by accident, but you can't make cannabis by accident.
And illegal, uncontrolled cannabis will still find a way.
You mean like how tobacco is a "single, very specific plant, that needs relatively specific conditions in which to grow."
Yep. But tobacco a) isn't grown in people's houses often and b) should be illegal.
Well tobacco can as easily accidental occur as marijuana, it has been found in the wild of england before, and no I don't mean hemp, active plants, they spread fast and easily, usually in hot summers.

making it illegal would make it wanted more by a lot of people just for being illegal
I think, unfortunately, that is true; people will still want to do cannabis simply because it's illegal. But, there's nothing to say that they would not do cannabis if it was legal, and it's likely that even more people would smoke cannabis if it were legal.
I think it would make less people smoke, as just with cigarettes today, so many health warnings on packets and such that it would scare people, right now buying of your local 'dealer' its not like he will tell you what possible bad stuff can happen from smoking it. A lot of people do smoke it just because its illigal.. people like doing bad things, rebelling, especially when teenage. Making it legal would also make it easier to monitor, would stop a lot of the black market selling it and therefore stop funding them for other crimes.
