So marijuana legalization will lead to widespread opium use? Why should we believe that, since that was not the outcome of legalizing the addictive mind-altering drug alcohol?

You are a blatant f***ing liar. Repetitive too. Alcohol has been legal for thousands of years. It is an ingrained part in this culture, and always was. It was a very brief period in history that it was illegal. Yet, here you go again, comparing alcohol and marijuana, as if they were exactly the same thing.

"WAAAAAAAAAH!!!! They get Alcohol! I want my WEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD!!!!!"

None of which explains why it didn't lead to widespread opium use although marijuana legalization supposedly will. You might as well have added that alcohol is a liquid, for all the relevance it has to that question.
