We do not have people imprisoned for it, as we did during prohibition. The social ills associated with alcohol impurities (cases of blindness and death) which can be compared to your OD cases, have disappeared for the most part. Why take the risk making impure alcohol, when safe cheap alcohol is available at the liquor store. Make sure you compare ill to ill. I am most concerned about the percentage of our population we are incarcerating because of drug crimes, and the criminal element that has built itself up around the drug trade. Users will use, legal or illegal. I doubt very much that use will mushroom with legalization. So the evils attendant to use may stay the same. Finally, people will stop flouting the law in all those homes across the country where people use substances that are illegal. It cannot be good to have so many people in the country disobeying the law as far as pot is concerned. We see pot in almost all movies. Everyone seems to be smoking it. It is a joke to have it illegal, and that illegality makes a joke of the law (imo). that may be one of the most serious problems with the illegality of drugs.
