However, most people are not hooked on alcohol as quickly as they are with crack and meth.
The same argument applies to marijuana. I dont think anyone is advocating the legalization of crack or meth. Marijuana, however, is relativly harmless. You cant die from an overdose. People dont stop eating and sleeping for days or weeks to use it, etc. Cigarettes are as dangerous as marijuana, but those are legal. Alcohol causes more of a social problem than marijuana does but that is also legal. Nobody ever gets into a fight or decides to smash a car window when theyre smoking pot. If alcohol was illegal and marijuana was legal, you probably wouldnt need any bouncers at the bars. Youd just need more couches and a very large snack bar. Crack and meth are a totally different story.
