The only way to deal with any problem is harm minimisation. Prohibition just does not work. Education is a part, as well as real help after the damage is done.
Literally tens of thousands of innocent people are being killed in Mexico to fuel the need of illicit drugs in the US per year. Something like 70% of US people in jail are there because of a non violent drug offence. Most are for smoking a weed!
As for alcohol as it is far more dangerous than smoking a weed, the same procedure should apply.
I personally do not think it is a moral problem as it is a medical problem.
