Give me the choice and I wouldn't ban anything........but the penalties for abuse would be so high that only the mentally disabled would consider it. Jails with TV's and soft mattresses, gone! Sit on your butt all day, gone, replaced with physical work. If I couldn't find anything productive for you to do, I have you moving rocks by wheelbarrow from one hilltop to the next. It's cold or raining, keep working if you expect to eat today.

What is "abuse". two beers a day is regular use, 3 is an abuse and needs to punished?

Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to say here. If I had my way I would regulate the sell of every drug like we do with alcohol. On the other hand penalties for crimes commited under the influence of a substance would go up, just like you suggest.

If you become a manic while under influence, don't take it.
