Drugs and Alcohol

Why are drugs illegal? I mean honestly, if you're going to make one of them legal, you might as well make all of them legal.

Alcohol does worse things to your brain than pot does, if you like to think long term, and you can overdose on alcohol and die from it directly, while you cannot die directly from overdosing on marijuana.

On top of that, making a drug illegal only creates violence. If you take away the main source of income for organized crime, you dispense with organized crime. Just look at the prohibition. Make alcohol profitable to smuggle, and you feed organized crime millions and millions of dollars. Violence goes up and you get violence so obvious it mocks the law you put in place.

So really, marijuana should be legalized. Along with cocaine and heroin and every other drug.

Moreover, if those drugs were legalized the government could keep track of who was using them, and try to give them help. Even if they could not help them, they would get revenue from what taxes they could put on those drugs.

So really, drugs should be legalized. I'll never do drugs because it doesn't make sense to, but I will always advocate their legalization because it does make sense.

The question that comes to mind, as with every time I think about government is:
Why does it not make any sense?
