Wait alcohol isn't addictive and doesn't change peoples personalities. What world do you live in?

Pot is lesser then even caffeine in danger and far lesser then alcohol. Alcohol kills more people each year then all illegal drugs combined . Hell Advil kills more people then most illegal drugs.

There is a reason I don't drink spot.

alcohol doesn't change everyone's personalities and isn't addictive to everyone. for example, i can have an occasional drink and not get addicted, not drive drunk, not steal to support my drinking habit. some people can't do that. as for alcohol killing more people than all illegal drugs combined, i would say that is a misleading statistic. you'd have to know the underlying cause of all deaths to be able to prove that. for example, do you count all deaths related to drunk driving as an alcohol death? do you count all people killed in drive by shootings due to drug gang activity as a "other" illegal drug death?
i would also suggest that another reason alcohol is legal(here) but other drugs are not is because of
#1 big business - many people from bar owners to waitresses to distillers would be out of business.
#2 taxes - government makes big cash off of alcohol(same to be said for cigarettes)
#3 the guys in charge don't want to stop drinking - can you imagine telling people like ted kennedy(when alive), tip oneill and joe biden that they can't drink anymore?
#4 the relative ease of regulating and taxing alcohol over other illegal drugs

just a few reasons why alcohol and cigarettes are legal while meth is not.

yeah and some people can do crack and not be addictive to it and not go off killing people.

By the way drunk driving gang driveby comparison is flawed. The drunk driver is under the influence of alcohol and the gang members doing the shooting more then likely not under the influence of the drug they are selling . most of them don't in fact use the drugs they are peddling . Also the problem of the fact the drugs are illegal in the first place causing said drive by shootings .
