A relatively small percentage of the population uses hard “street drugs” with a disproportionately large percentage of trauma, life-alteration and negative consequence. A vast percentage uses alcohol with a relatively low percentage of negative consequence. In moderation (as the vast majority use it), alcohol has little risk. Even in relative moderation, crystal meth and heroin have a high risk of catastrophic consequences. They are not the same. Your comparison is like saying that eating fast food and drinking sodas over a long period of time is the same as drinking Drano...poison is poison. Ridiculous.

There are more people killed each year by alcohol and tobacco than street dope and that's a cold hard FACT!!! Please!!! Explain how this fact makes me a special kind of stupid? Seems to me, if you can't see that alcohol and tobacco are just as, if not more dangerous, than any street drug, then it's you that is stupid!!! @JTV, poison is poison, it doesn’t matter if it’s a “LEGAL” poison, except to a HYPOCRITE!!!
