How exactly is it causing harm to individuals and society? I know a highly successful businessman who is a regular smoker. Like I said, why don't they ban drink? It causes far more harm than cannabis (haven't you seen all these articles about teenage binge drinking on the news recently?)

If you smoke too much dope, you might get the giggles and the munchies.

If you drink too much alcohol, you could easily die.

I wouldn't mind so much if the drug policy was consistent, but it doesn't make sense that alcohol and tobacco - the two worst drugs - are legal.



I think the real issue is that if everyone started smoking, they might start thinking, instead of sitting at home pissed-up watching the TV. They wouldn't want that, would they. Oh no.
