Oh get off your "alcohol is the standard for all drug decisions" mantra.

Drugs are illegal for more than their propensity for addictiveness. Refresh yourself with the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

Straw man. I happen to think that our decisions re alcohol have been pretty reasonable, but my basic point is that alcohol is a drug, and the same criteria proposed for other drugs must therefore be applied to it as well.

Drugs are illegal for more than their propensity for addictiveness.

wideawake raised the subject; I replied. Got a problem with that?

Pretty inconvenient for warriors. I can see why you want to dismiss it.

Refresh yourself with the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

If it's a federal law, it's unconstitutional, so whatever it says is irrelevant.
