    Well it’s because alcohol is the worst one.

    Because when you try to take booze away from a drunk, they’ll literally murder you to get it back.

    Whereas weeders will just walk away and light another one, or be like “totally, you need it more than I do”.

        Alcohol causes aggression, unlike pretty much any other substance.

        Remember “the Prohibition”? As in that thing that has an actual era named after it? People tried banning alcohol as well. But banning substances doesn’t work, as evidenced by all of human history. That’s why there was extremely high crime rates and gangsters ruled.

        But since other substances don’t make you as crazy, the people using them illegally aren’t as noticeable as drunks.

        Everyone knows how common weed and cocaine are. Yet they’re still illegal, because they don’t cause as many problems as alcohol does when it’s banned.
