And exactly how is alcohol any different from marijuana?

It’s a historical/cultural difference. People have been drinking alcohol in the U.S. since colonial times. It too was subject to prohibition, but it failed. Marijuana started to become popular in the U.S. in about 1900 when there was an influx of Mexican laborers into the southwest. Marijuana became viewed as an evil Mexican weed, and thus over time outlawing it became intertwined with anti-Mexican sentiment.
