I have no problem with including other illegal behaviors in an argument like this. Happens all the time and people immediately say "HE'S SAYING ______ IS JUST LIKE PEDOPHILIA" when that's not what he's saying. You can list any number of illegal behaviors and (currently) smoking pot is like all of those behaviors in that they are all illegal. The actions and consequences may vary substantially, but that isn't the point of including them together.

So yeah, it's legitimate to include pedophilia, rape, murder, and smoking pot in the same sentence if the point is to say they are all illegal. If you want to talk about the different consequences of each, feel free to do that. Obviously smoking pot on your couch at home doesn't harm others like rape or murder does, but that's not the point of the comparison.
