drug epidemic

[Gandalf]

Haven't touched drugs in my life and I ain't ever going to.

Do you drink? Because that's a drug just like the others.

Alcohol ? When im out at parties etc yes but not huge amounts.

You can't compare that to Cannabis, Cocaine, Weed etc. Alcohol is actually legal.

It doesn't matter if alcohol is legal or not. It is still a drug that affects a persons mental equilibrium if consumed in substantial quantities.

There is a lot of hypocrisy and bullshit when it comes to government policy towards issues such as alcohol, cigarettes, drugs and even prescription drugs IMO.

Alcohol and cigarettes are definitely more harmful than a number of so called illegal drugs. People are generally conditioned to accept that government policies are in the public interests. They are not though. Some people died out here recently through drinking some dodgy home brew. In that respect anything unregulated can lead to potential death and tragedy. And if you drink enough of the regulated stuff you will die anyway!
