Legality of alcohol can't be reconciled, simple as that.

If it were discovered tomorrow it would illegal the day after, it causes immense personal and social harm.
Its readily accepted in society though, and that the way it is.

Cannabis is still not seen as a good thing by society in general - hence no real push to get it legalised, and whatever Dr Whacko boils up in his lab tomorrow won't be either.

I am still opposed to legalisation, a lot of people might be able to 'handle it' but given how many can't handle alcohol I somehow doubt thats true.

If the legality of alcohol cannot be reconciled, would you accept a ban on non-medical alcohol in order to bring about moral consistency?

Do you dispute that marijuana has any positive uses?

So you'd rather have us continue spending tons on enforcing drug laws on marijuana, when the costs of dealing with abuse if it was legal would be much lower

I've often wondered about international effects of legalisation within specific countries.  Here all of our weed is grown locally due to our nearest neighbours being 3-4 hours away by air.  If it were legalised for general use in the USA, what effect do you think it would have upon relations with, and immigration traffic (legal or otherwise) from Mexico?
