Bill, You make excellent points.

I equate so-called drugs of abuse with what was going on with alcohol in the early part of the previous century. One thing to keep in mind is that when alcohol became once again legal, its manufacture was regulated by (horrors!) the government. That in itself eliminated a lot of medical problems and costs associated with alcohol then. Please try to port that fact over to the current crop of street drugs.

Truly, I cannot separate alcohol from the current prohibition on other substances, and never could. The phrase, "alcohol and drugs" is not in my vocabulary, for, to me and many, they are one and the same. - Holly
