Marijuana is legal in Amsterdam because the government there realizes that it is much easier to control when they make it publicly available. This way they can tax it to generate state funding and ensure that they know where it is and who's using it. It's a much more liberal approach than prohibition, which causes any controlled substance to go immediately underground and leaves the government's jurisdiction.
