Alcohol - though a powerful drug - has been considered a foodstuff for centuries and is treated more like a food than a drug by the US legal system.

Its status is unique, and meth or crack will not be treated the same way as alcohol in law no matter what form decriminalization takes.

So it's not a good analogy.

The law will treat other drugs the way lawmakers decide it will. As I understand it, the legalizations in CO and WA treat marijuana very much like alcohol - so the available evidence is against your unsupported claim.

Which of tbe four food groups is alcohol?

I guess for some folks they're three of the four...

It’s actually a perfect analogy, only it doesn’t redound well upon the War on Drugs, so you ignore it.
