The had legal drugs in China till the beginning of WWII. The rate of addiction was over 50% in urban areas. People will take the easy way in life and drugs are different from alcohol. They are designed to loss yourself. I little pot with dinner is not the same as a glass of wine. The joy may be different too. The penalty of addiction is so easy to count when you look at the history of China.

I only meant that pot should be legal. No, it's not the same as a glass of wine with dinner, but it is not as bad as a kegger at the Kappa Delta Phi's.

which a very addicting drug, Pot however is non-physically addicting.
big difference.

The same drugs---opiates---were legal in the USA until the early 20th century, and the addiction rate never exceeded 0.3%.
