Thanks for information.
Well, alcohol cannot ban. You can make it with just a piece of bread and juice. But with a good education and healthy society people wouldn't want to drink it.

I'm healthy and well-educated and I am perfectly happy to drink alcohol.
Wine can be a pleasant drink, and can definitely enhance a meal. On a hot day, or after work, or in good company, beer is an excellent beverage. A fine whisky can satisfy the palate, just as a beautiful woman can satisfy the eye.
Alcohol should be thought of as one of God's gifts, to help mankind cope with a hostile world. The fact that humans are capable of abusing any good thing should not lead us to condemn those good things, or to feel any shame in enjoying them.
"But with a good education and healthy society people wouldn't want to drink it to excess," maybe.

Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?

Very well said, Whiff. I feel the same, but with the qualification that we must understand that some people are disposed biologically (I believe) to alcoholism.

I think you drank 2 bottles of whiskey and 1 bottle of vodka before writing this. That's why you think it's a God's gift.
A good point, Joe. I going to say something here that is going to sound crazy at first, but bear with me. It is perfectly legal to purchace alcohol, and people misusing it harm and even kill people every year. Yet it also may have beneficial value, and be harmless if used in moderation.
Now take marjuania. It is illeagal to purchace or possess. People "hopped up" on it cause many of the same problems as those who abuse alcohol. But Pot has it's own benefical value. It helps with glacoma, mirgrianes, and other illnesses. Why is one frowned upon while the other allowed?

I think doctors say there are other drugs more effective than marijuana for those ailments, and it's just an excuse for the pro-legal people to get pot legalized. So there really is no reason to proscribe marijuana.

Just a note, Virgil. I am NOT PRO-LEGAL. I just wonder why a person can get drunk out of their mind legally, but then other things that are equally self-destructive are illegal. Excuse the spelling in my first post, I've tried to edit it three times without success!

I've also wondered that. You can't OD on marijuana. Marijuana is the safest mind altering drug. If you vaporize marijuana that even lowers the chance of lung cancer from using it.Just a note, Virgil.

I don't understand why a person would like to get drunken or mind altered by drugs unless he have serious problems?
I don't endorse the use of alcohol or any drug (I don't even use aspirin).
I just wonder why the law of my country allows me to retard my brain with alcohol but not with marijuana.

It makes sense to legalize marijuana, but there isn't a lot of pressure to because a) we have been lead to believe that it is somehow worse than alcohol (it isn't) and b) nobody will make any money by its legalization, because you can grow it in your basement.

Logic is not how society runs. Logic is for robots and vulcans, not humans. The question remains, do you want to add to the vices within our culture or are we trying to minimize, if not subtract? Society has been striving to minimize and even subtract, not add vices.
