You can't always be intoxicated in your home. As you yourself admit, you can't participate in child endangerment while drunk.

If you have your business out of your house and you have an employee, you legally can't be drunk either because that is an illegal work enjoyment under both the health code and under the rules of running a business.

You also know what you get with alcohol, but with various drugs there are no standards unless you get them from your doctor legally for a condition. So it's a lot more dangerous to do drugs illegally.

Plus alcohol in moderation or less is actually is good for you to both thin the blood and to purify the food.
Illegal drugs poison you and cause various medical conditions in various ways.

I do not believe illegal drugs are good for anyone, but I also believe the War on Drugs should end. Then, Rather than making all drugs legal, they should just be, "not illegal", no law on the books at all.

Why?

1) The government has no business telling a free individual what they may or may not consume - no matter how harmful it is to the individual. (I believe this about seat belts too..children must, Adults can make their OWN, Adult, decision!)

2) If a person on drugs commits a crime, any crime, the crime itself is punishable. When a drunkard or druggie gets in a car and kills someone on the road..the person is just as dead no matter what was consumed. Crimes committed while under the influence are still crimes..no matter the intoxicant. The intoxicant SHOULD NOT be the crime!

3) The war on drugs has created a whole new class of "criminal" , people that are not a real criminal element, are not a threat to society..just weak. Is that worth ten years in prison? I think not.

So it makes sense to support those same limited restrictions for other drugs ... but it still makes no sense to support the stronger restrictions that are now in place.

That's entirely due to their illegality; when alcohol was illegal there were no standards for that drug.

Illegal drugs poison you

So does alcohol ... in fact, unlike marijuana, it can cause a fatal overdose.

and cause various medical conditions in various ways.

So does alcohol, for example, cirrhosis of the liver.
