I got your point that there's no "adding". We're not talking about a small underground economy. Like you said, "it's here and it's huge". I don't know why people are so focused on the law. The fact that marijuana is illegal is stupid and arbitrary. I am strongly against prohibition.
All I am trying to say is: let unbiased scientific studies (not emotional arguments based on "honesty", "morality" and "legality") dictate policies. Like I said, I am interested in knowing what would be a socially responsible dose. People drink coffee as a stimulant, but drinking 40 espressos in a row might kill you. Should we forbid coffee? No! A stupid example, I know. But replace "coffee" with "marijuana", "caffeine" with "THC" and it's just as stupid. Believing that something is "bad" because it's illegal is foolish. Once again, it's all in the dose.
Ironically, evidence seems to suggest that legalization does not lead people to over-consumption. Evidence also suggests that teenagers who consume too much pot are at higher risk of schizophrenia. I don't know how reliable these are.
