Are you living in some mythical Norman Rockwell world where few are given access?
Whether you care to admit it or not the ONLY difference between things like tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana and their ability to cause harm legally is the relative $$$$$trength of their respective lobbies.
OH! AND marijuana's inability to cause the physical addiction/damage that both tobacco and alcohol possess.
Can you read?
No one is killed for the manufacture and sell of tobacco.
No one is killed for you to go and stuff yourself at an all you can eat buffet.
If you blame drugs like pot for violence, then can't you blame guns for the violence??? Not saying I blame guns, just saying that logically you can't blame one and ignore the other.
I hear what you're saying, and don't necessarily disagree. It's prohibition that is to blame for the increase in violence. And to add if we can blame guns for killing people, then can I blame my pencil for misspellings?.... BTW banning guns would cause more harm than good, again because there would then be a much larger black market surrounding them.

Apples to oranges.
I can read very well, what I CANNOT read is much of anything logical/sensible in your anti-drug obsession.
You have zero sense of history if you don't understand how many WERE killed in the manufacture/distribution of alcohol when IT was made illegal but that'd probably be a little too much apples to apples to suit your agenda, eh?
Because its legal. Make it illegal and many will be killed, look at alcohol prohibition. So your argument again makes no sense. I dont think you've thought this through.
We will never legalize heroine and meth. So not sure what your point is.
Americans are trained to chew Rumsfeld's aspartame.
I can't wait till the day I launch my Coca Gum empire.
Wrigley was a piker!
