You can atleast try it.
It
was tried! That's what he's saying! Sh*t hit the fan when it was tried and the mafia and other criminal groups made a huge profit off of it.
Your arguement doesnt make any sense. That would like we stop jailing murderers only becuase there will be always murderers anyway.
No? Murderers kill people. People who drink beer drink beer. Alcohol isn't even bad for people when taken responsibly, and wine is actually healthy when taken responsibly.
I do not think most drugs should be legal.
...
Prohobition is good on paper but bad in practice.
These two positions are at odds with each other. Why is prohibition on alcohol bad but prohibition on weed/mushrooms/LSD good?
Like I said, alcohol isn't especially bad for you. Illegal drugs are.
Another point, alcohol is engraved in our culture; there's no getting rid of it, even if there were a valid reason. Cigars and cigarettes are another example of this, and they are an example that have valid reasons for their prohibition.
Marijuana, Methamphetamine, Cocaine, Heroin, LSD, shrooms, etc. are not something we should let become culturally accepted, because recreational use of these is not healthy at all (I say recreational only because of the medical uses of Marijuana).
