The argument you made regarding alcohol vs. marijuana is fairly persuasive for me, but it's persuasive for the argument that alcohol consumption should be much more heavily regulated than it is, not for the argument that both should be legal.
I think you have to examine the rationale for making the use and consumption of certain drugs illegal. I'd use that rationale to draw the line on what should or shouldn't be regulated and/or made illegal.
