    Alcohol is highly habit forming and is very capable of killing someone just like cocaine.

    All people kill themselves by overuse that's why it's called and overdose.

    Again, not what I'm talking about. Until I see a brewer doing a hit and run, I'll continue to drink. Until the drug industry stops doing hit and runs, I won't touch their pot.
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    May I introduce you to Alphonse Capone?

    The whole reason gangs are in the drug buisness is because it's illegal.

    I have absolutely no plans to buy alcohol produced by Mr. Capone, for the very same reason I won't touch drugs.

    Listen cowpoke, you're working backwards.

    No legit buisness can deal in drugs because they are illegal.

    This leads to a vaccum

    This vaccum gets filled by peolpe who stab people

    This vaccum turns into dog-eat-dog

    The violence gets ramped up

    By legalising the drugs these things will end, just like the mafia got out of the alcohol buisness.

    Sure, I agree with all of that.

    But as long as things remain the way they are, I'm not touching that stuff. If the situation changes, and it's sold by government outlets, for example, then the situation changes, of course(though I still doubt that I will try it, I love my beer).

    Bottom line is; I'm not going to fill the coffers of a crook. No way Jose. Don't care how great his offer is, I won't take it.

    Why are we arguing?

    But do you agree with laws based on cultural and emotional responses or do you think there should be some method or evidence behind such decisions?

    I wouldn't touch heroin and cocaine if it was legal. I'm just not interested.

    Not so at all. Most drug users are responsible people. Do you think everyone you see sat in a pub or stood outside smoking a cigarette is a wild and dangerous person?
