My position is that pot should stay illegal.

The laws against pot are working about as well as the laws against alcohol did - both in their failure to curb the proscribed behaviors and their channeling hyperinflated profits into criminal hands.

You can say the same thing about any criminal activity. Legalizing crime does not make it go away. Should we legalize (murder, rape, incest) everything on the idea that it won't go away anyway?
