I’m not fond of arguments against alcohol based on it presumedly being “far worse” than cannabis. Reminds me too much of Sharia-like arguments. Besides, alcohol is way more studied than cannabis is with respect to negative effects, and as far as Christian doctrine goes, the Bible has many injuctions against drunkenness.

Of course, the government making anything “controlled” or “illegal” will simply create a black market for same. It’s not about the merits or detriments of anything. The banning is similar to the banning of incandescent lightbulbs, or of course guns or other weapons.

there are many drugs that hook you the first time you take them.

i have never met one person who became an instant alcoholic after their first drink.

that’sthe difference. while there are alcoholics, it’s a known fact most people who drink do not become alcoholics. you can find social drinkers. you cannot find social meth-heads. you cannot find moderate crackheads. you can’t find i only inject krokodil when i play cards, people.
