And, what you're presenting is a straw man. Alcohol is legal and, thus, used in far greater quantity than recreational drugs of any kind. If recreational drugs were legal, they'd be killing more.
But, why the hell do we need anymore legal ways to get high? How many more citizens need to die so losers have a "right" to get high? It's insane. It diminishes the quality of life for everyone.
I’ve lived with an alcoholic abusive father and I’ve had a roommate that was a decent average guy that never raised his voice to me or hit me once. But, he smoked weed a few times a week and enjoyed LSD or mushrooms a couple of times a month. His girlfriend was much the same way.
I know which one I preferred to come home to. You come back to quality of life, but frankly, I don’t see the difference and never have. I’ve been drunk and I’ve sampled (for a few years, multiple times every day) just about every other way to alter your mood. Perhaps if you actually had a conversation with people instead of repeating the ‘reefer madness’ bulls—t that our government (and the goobermint NEVER lies, does it?) has fed you your entire life, you may have a different understanding.
BTW, you can wipe the smirk off your face and knock off the ‘I knew it, just another loser druggie’ thought you just had. I have been off everything (including alcohol) since 1985 when I realized I was turning into daddy dearest...
