Ridiculously one sided debate (Score 2, Interesting)

I live in the UK where it _could_ be said that drug laws (particularly the classification of Cannabis) are in flux. There was an interesting program on television that asked many health and drug proffesionals to rank many common legal and illegal drugs by their harm to the body (toxcicity) and their harm to society, very intersting that one of the lowest was ecstacy (18/20) and top three (from memmory) were heroin, coccaine and alcohol with tobbaco up there as well. Tobbaco advertising has been banned almost everywhere, yet alcohol is advertised on TV. Oh the disparity. All the 'debates' or discussions about drugs are so massively one-sidded, in order to have a proper debate you have to talk about the all aspects of drug taking, including the benefits of why people would take them. Maybe then we will get some straight answers as to what we should 'do about drugs'. We need to have a real, reasoned debate about drugs and their effects on society. But you find me a politician/lawmaker who will stand up and actually talk about benefits of taking drugs.
