How many alcoholics do you see everyday?
Is that a drug?
I don’t consider “what-about-alcohol-nicotine-caffeine” to be a good argument for recreational drug legalization. Alcoholic beverages are too ingrained in the culture to ban. Prohibition was tried, and it failed. Yes, alcohol is an abused drug for many people, but how is that a good argument for introducing and encouraging the use and abuse of other drugs too? It’s kind of like saying that we have a known problem with automobiles driving over the speed limit, so let’s ditch speed limits entirely... and also introduce other types of vehicles onto roadway such as drag racers.
