Alchohol was never originally ileegal, moron. If you were in Chicago, and possibly a few other cities, though I believe we were the only one, during the 1920s and such, we had what was called "Prohibition". That was the one time alcohol was illegal to anybody. Read more about it yourself, I'm not giving free history lessons. ;D
Overdosing, alcohol poisoning, and other such things are from morons who can't stop and keep going with large amounts of respective commodity. Not everyone gets addicted, and not everyone DOES DRUGS! THAT'S what you morons don't understand! You think everyone will suddenly become addicted to Pot, just because it's legal! Not everyone has access or funds to or for it, so they can't try it! Honestly, take into account that not everybody is a rich 16y/o snob who can easily get some drugs in a snap!
Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.
Making alcohol illegal was one of the stupidest things ever done in American history. It led to the creation of organized crime, and made alcohol even more popular.
Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?
