I love it when pro-pot folks “defend” it by comparing it to alcohol and tobacco. For years, this same group has ranted endlessly about the horrors of smoking and the social costs of booze. They demand that they be regulated, taxed, and virtually outlawed.

Then they extoll the virtues of weed “because it’s no worse than alcohol and tobacco.”

Do we really need yet another substance to be abused? And why stop there? Why not make all drugs legal?

I've never done that. The people you speak of are certainly hypocrites.

Do we really need yet another substance to be abused? And why stop there? Why not make all drugs legal?

After we've seen how pot relegalization works, we should consider it. The same questions to you in reverse: Don't we really need fewer substances to be abused? Why stop there - why not make all drugs illegal, including alcohol and tobacco?
