Question by Josonic: Why is alcohol legal yet other hard drugs not? (Yes alcohol is a hard drug)?
So many lives are ruined by alcohol, no I’m not claiming lives aren’t ruined by other substances. Also I’ve seen two episodes of the show Intervention where the addictee has died, both were addicted to alcohol and alcohol only. Why is it that the majority of people would be outraged if alcohol were once again illegal, yet they think cocaine or mushrooms or something shouldn’t be legal.
I didn’t claim that, read better
I didn’t even mention heroin or lsd, I personally think heroin is the second worse thing you can’t take with meth being number 1

Answer by greenjellybean
back up your evidence scientifically that alcohol is just as dangerous as cocaine, heroin, or LSD. You can’t because the scientific (ie. unbiased) evidence doesn’t support the claim.
