Re your # 77... Poor analogy.... and My answer to your question is no!

Too much tobacco and alcohol kills (yes) and so does too much sun or too much fat in the diet etc and etc.

No, the negative impact of drugs is fearsome, insidious and largely immediate. It breeds, murder, robberies, and crime generally....Only sophists would rank drugs no more dangerous to society as tobacco.

Nonetheless, have a nice evening.

Yes, so by the criterion YOU stated, "dangerous to health," all should be banned. It's YOUR argument---YOU live with it.

Reefer Madness/DEA rhetoric. Have any facts to back this up?

It breeds, murder, robberies, and crime generally....

That's because they're illegal---alcohol bred murder, robberies, and crime generally when it was illegal. Thanks for reminding us of this powerful argument AGAINST the War On Some Drugs.

Only sophists would rank drugs no more dangerous to society as tobacco.

What about alcohol?
