Is Meth illegal because the government has not figured out how to make a profit off it?

Question by Taz: Is Meth illegal because the government has not figured out how to make a profit off it?
Is Meth illegal because of the so called damage it does to families or is it illegal because the government can’t figure out a way to make a profit from it and control the makers. If you are claiming “damage” how about the damage liquor does and the long term affects it can have on the members as well as the innocent victims of lets say a drunk driver killing someone or a person that has many DUI’s and has lost his/her license but continues to drink and drive and hurts someone, or the pain it can cause from a violent drunk, or the continued jobs being lost from being drunk, all of which can be said to some degree of a Meth user, so why is Meth illegal and liquor legal
apparently hit a sore spot with some drinkers, no my Joe does not open a cold one, neither of us drink, I am a social worker and yes occasionally used Meth when I was youger, it did not desrtoy my teeth or make me “insane” or violent because that is not in my nature, the same as not all drunks are violent, if it is not in there nature it won’t be. I am also not a moron, I am well educated person, who asked a question to think about, and cocaine and herion also use to be legal and sold over the counter, where do you think coke a cola got it’s name and advertised the energy it gave you? From the caffeine? Think again, and if you have an addictive personality liquor can become just as addictive just a quickly as Meth. I myself know people that use Meth everyday as well as “socially” and you would not have a clue, no more then if they were using diet pills on an everyday basis, so look at the facts not the commercials or the scare tactics.
