alcohol is more dangerous because it is so widespread and culturally ingrained in our everyday lives.

So how would legalizing drugs make anything better? If cocaine becomes widespread and culturally ingrained in our everyday lives....how does that help anybody? It seems to me that the crux of your argument is that ALL drugs should be illegal, including alcohol.

Proven by all those junkies who get watsed, regardless of law.

Try again. Of all the non-junkies, can you prove that none of them are deterred by illegality?

Can you prove any of them are?

Seriously, if your best argument is to ask someone to prove the unprovable, then you got nothing.

Bullshit

Ong's point was that junkies still getting high proves that illegality is not a deterrent. That's only provable within the junkie community. Outside of it, you can't say that illegality isn't stopping anyone from using drugs. So his point is also unprovable. Go crawl up his ass with your sniping nonsense.

I wasn't talking about his point, I was talking about yours. You have nothing to say but 'prove it', which you know damn well is impossible. So therefore you have nothing.

hahaha someone's getting butthurt.

I'm not suggesting cocaine becomes widespread. Alcohol isn't widespread purely because it's legal, part of the reason is advertising and culture. Drink beer, watch football. I don't think anyone is suggesting cocaine sponsored sporting events, and coke bars where they sell it by the line at the bar.

The crux of my argument is that all drugs should be LEGAL. Just because alcohol is dangerous, doesn't mean I think anyone has the right to say other people should not consume it. Legalising drugs would make things better because legitimate companies would take over the market, instead of criminals, resulting in much better regulation of a dangerous economy. If that isn't obvious, well I don't know what to say. Would you buy vodka from a Russian who made it in his cellar? Like fuck would you, you might die. You'll buy a bottle off the shelf, and know that what you're buying is vodka, with a strength of x, which can be found on the side of the bottle. Clearly, legalisation is a good thing for alcohol, because otherwise it would be a lot more dangerous.
