alcohol kills millions, tobacco kills millions - and they're all legal and all taxed. the illegal drugs are pikers by comparison. they're illegal only because it benefits vested interests to keep them illegal. plus its a great way to keep minorities down. for instance, pot was made illegal in the US back in the 1930s because Mexicans and blacks smoked it. busting them for pot was a great way to keep those folks in line. the public health had nothing to do with it. it was another just reach of big government into people's lives. now we can arrest people for bad blood chemistry! cool! if government really cared about public health and it wanted to be consistent, it would outlaw alcohol and tobacco - and put into prison anyone who used them. meanwhile it would legalize pot, given it causes relatively less harm.
