Q&A: Why Is Alcohol Legal Instead of Marijuana ?

Question by janedo_re_me: Why is alcohol legal instead of marijuana ?
One is manufactured, the other is natural. Also when people drink they do really horrible things, but smoking pot puts you in a relaxed state of mind where no one gets hurt. I know smoking anything is not healthy, but neither is drinking. Drinking has also proven to be extremely dangerous when pregnant. you never hear of anyone going to rehab for pot. and don’t give me the “gateway drug” thing because it’s just not so. Just made-up to scare people away from it or to make excuses for people who do worse drugs. Lastly, the government could probably pay off the National Debt within 10 years between the tax money taken in and the spending for the “war on marijuana” that has not worked since Nancy Reagan told us to “just say no”. Why isn’t this considered when we are in so much trouble financially.
There are lots of old white people growing pot, they just aren’t as suspicious as a guy with a bandanna and his pants down around nd his ankles. As for the money, they would make alot more taxing it which they could still do if you were growing it yourself btw, and cut spending on the drug war. What I meant when I said “natural” was pick-and-go, and I actually do know ho to read, and do it quite often. I also am white, middle-class, and have an IQ of 128.
And if it’s so addictive why don’t people seek help for it ?

Answer by Modus Operandi
Because the wrong people are growing pot. If there were old, rich, white people growing lots of pot, it’d be legal.
