    Drug and alcohol are addictive . IMO they are both illegal .
    It is a pity anyone can buy alcohol anywhere .

    I think whatever plays with the brain should be illegal
    both of them are illegal IMO

    Why alcohol is legal? I think because it exists even before governments exist, so it become a prominent industry today, no one can stop it!

    As for drugs, it's new to man and always labeled as a secret thing to do, unlike alcohol which has deep root it human history

    Alcohol KILLS brain cells

    Marijuana ALTERS brain cells (so you can see things as they really are)

    Agree. Just as cigarette, it is harmful to people's health, there is no ban except the age limit. The taxes of cigarette and alcohol are quite high.

    I think for many reasons.
    I think cos when you drink you don't get addicted but drugs might make you get addicted from the first or second time. Also drugs can kill you shortly, have you heard somewhere that killing yourself being legal?

    Thx

    I myself don't really get it. I mean both things are made abusively, why is it that only drugs
    are illegal knowing that both have large effect to health, emotions, etc. hmmm Maybe because
    drugs affects fastest to the body than alcohol .

    Alcohol is not completely legal. It's only legal within a limitation. Drugs have more dangerous side effects than alcohol even taken within a limitation.

    Then why can't they make money from drugs too? The governments would be zillion times richer if they made drugs legal as it's way more expensive than alcohol.
