        Now imagine if cannabis seeds were floating through the air all the time, and also used to produce a staple food, and you’ll see how alcohol is even harder to regulate.

      Most drugs on the schedule are not illegal, just controlled. In fact, we already do control alcohol with things like age limitations. Due to the destructive nature of the drug, is it so incredible to control it further?

        Yes, prohibitions of addictive substances creates dangerous black markets and criminals out of addicts who usually need medical support not a judge or jail. We try to prevent children from driving, drinking, smoking, etc for the same reason we don’t send children to jail & that’s not a good way to legislate adult or general populations.
