"Did it ever dawn on these people that alcohol is a much bigger problem BECAUSE it IS legal and readily available?"

If alchohol is a bigger problem legal than it would be illegal, why don't they go ahead and make alchohol illegal as well?

Oh wait, they tried that already. It was called Prohibition and it was a disaster.

I help alcoholics as well. What you say is true. Alcohol is legal but marijuana isn't.

They both destroy families equally. One has a warning label and the other doesn't.

One is thought of as being totally innocuous (pot) and the other thought of as being OK in moderation but harmful if abused.
