True, but legalizing pot will have ZERO effect on the existing harm caused by alcohol.

But, once again, alcohol causes FAR more harm that pot. So why, then, do the feds make it illegal, to the point of incarceration, whereas the much more harmful drug, alcohol, can be sold and used legally?

So why do you continue to bring up this worthless and time-consuming comparison between the relative harm caused by alcohol vs marijuana?

Because it shows what a rank hypocrite you are with your position here. After all, your core concern is the harm illegal drugs cause. Well, you are like Bill Clinton getting after the Serbs while ignoring al Qaeda when it come to pot. If you are so concerned about countering harm, why don't you campaign to bring back Prohibition? And heck, in this day and age, you wouldn't even need a Constitutional amendment. Just have Congress outlaw it.

What more do you want the government to do? They tried to make alcohol illegal and failed. The people did not want alcohol illegal, despite the harm. That's a dead issue. Forget about it.

They DO want pot illegal.

After all, your core concern is the harm illegal drugs cause."

That's not MY core concern. I've stated numerous times on this forum that no one has been able to give me one good reason why marijuana should be legalized. Other than, "Because, dude!", which doesn't qualify.
