    Your argument makes no sense. That's like asking "pistols are legal and it kills and ruins pistols lives, so why not make assault rifles legal?"

    And I'm pro-legalization... you have no chance with the other crowd.

    The only reason alcohol isn't illegal is because its the one addiction that CAN kill you if you DON'T use it. The withdrawal symptoms of alcohol are incredibly dangerous.
