What I do know is that this is a behavior which is much more benign than drinking, and it's against the law for no other reason that it offends some people's moral standards.

For some, yes, moral standards. Others because if we let one drug go to legal status, others are soon to follow. I do think that labeling every drunk as violent is a bit presumputious. I know more happy than violent and even these violent ones only get violent when what they feel was a wrong at the time of the drunkeness.
I had a college housemate that smoked all the time. He called it "wake and bake" as this is the first thing he did when he got up for class. He could not function without it. Addictive. Same as alcohol. I had a coworker who like to drink his lunch behind the dumpster. To me, making it legal for tax revenue does not make sense and only adds to the problems facing society concerning alcohol and drugs.
