I think the question is “Why is alcohol legal?” Instead of legalizing drugs we should be worried about limiting access to the ones we have now. Pot is just as dangerous as alcohol behind the wheel of a car. The reason why Pot is illegal is because it is not as socially accepted among those who are considered respected individuals. Show me 1 respecteable pothead, just 1.

The answer is very simple. Simply because marijuana is not alcohol that’s why it is illegal. Understand?

Because marijuana has a bad image on it. Just think about it if you tell a person you drink the person would be like “Thats cool” but if you tell a person you do weed they would be turned off or look at you with contempt.

Greetings. the war on drugs started so that the federal kingdom of the FBI could be justified. since they were supposed to be against alcohol and that was no longer banned. what were these secret police supposed to do? simply get other jobs? never. the government never relinquishes power in anything it once obtains. so the war on the then legal drugs. opium, you could buy landanum at the drug store. Marijuana? common among the then Mexican labor forces who brought it with them. again legal. all the other drugs? samething. government simply decided to make everything illegal and send the FBI to go after it. didn’t bother to get a Constitutional ammendment to do so as they did with alcohol prohibition, just made it illegal since they were God and could do as they liked. We have had the war on drugs ever since the repeal of prohibition, spent untold billions of dollars on it and created enormous drug bureaus of secret police. and we have more drugs here now then ever. Just a government money grabbing act is all. it has nothing to do with should or should not marijuana be legal.

Alcohol is legal, if you drink moderately, but if you drink more than the required dose, then its the time it became illegal. Would you believe in some areas, marijuana is used in treating patients, especially those with acute diseases? But then again, you don’t abuse using marijuana.

They should ban them both….problem is the rich owners of alcohol can control their regulations to a point because the have the money too….drinking is suppose to be done responsibly but is the leading cause of death in the US….I dont get it …why do either?…smoking is considered a narcotic for starters and is just as dangerous as alcohol when behind the wheel of a car…has alomost the same side effects…slow reaction time, etc, a little ”pot” or ”dro” is equal to the same as 7 budweiser beers….(which results in the normal person falling asleep-minus alcoholics–)
..now who stops after one or two puffs?…

Well you have to understand that it’s not the drink that causes the person to behave abnormally, it’s the person. A person should know his limits without having alcohol being illegal.
It’s like gun control. Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.

Politics. That and behind the scenes buisness payouts and kickbacks.
Has nothing to do with the substances.

You know, none of that stuff is good for you. NONE OF THAT STUFF IS GOOD FOR YOUR FUTURE CHILDREN!! Did you know that stuff goes into the sperm and is passed on to your children? Did you know that it is more fun to have a clear mind than one that is messed permanently-burned- by drugs and Alcohol? The reason for alcohol not being illegal is because so many “rich” and “government officials” drink (socially?). They would evidently not have fun if they can’t have alcohol served. How many people does pot and alcohol kill? How many families are torn apart? How many innocent children suffer because their parent wants to do drugs rather than spend time and money on their family? Why?
