I think that the fact that all of society feels the effects is justification for regulating its use. I won't get any more specific than that. It's the principle which I am arguing.
And I suspect that a hefty percentage of people who promote "liberties" even tho' it's obvious that those particular liberties are a bane on society are actually motivated by their own selfishness.

I think that the fact that all of society feels the effects is justification for regulating its [alcohol's] use.But not for banning it, right? So why should marijuana be banned rather than regulated?
