You forgot to include in the list alcohol, which does far more damage to society and individuals than all illegal drugs combined.
It’s logically sound to make the argument that should be the first substance banned extra-constitutionally.
Not sure that is entirely true.Urban areas are devasted by cocaine and heroin. Rural areas have huge heroin addiction rates. The American Southwest is the amphetamine capital of the world.The effects are pervasive. Of course alcohol was once banned as the drugs mentioned are now illegal. Portugal, some American states ( Oregon and California) are trying to legalize all these currently illegal drugs, not just marijuana. During prohibition bootleggers, illegal establishments received all the publicity, the violence was publicized, people turned against the law and it was repealed. However it should be noted that alcohol related deaths ( “alcohol poisoning”, cirrhosis, accidents even suicides) declined and rapidly increased after it was legalized and became readily available and much cheaper. If accurate non biased records are kept, it will be interesting to see what will be the health effects of legalization.
