This is a question that has been bothering me forever and i just want some ideas and feedback.. if alcohol is the deadliest drug why is it legal?
There was a very good report in the herald sun yesterday about alcohol it gave some facts.. 3500 Australians died from alcohol related misuse last year.
50% of assults fueled by alcohol
44% of injuries
34% of falls and drowing
30% of car accidents
23% liver cirrhosis
18-25% MENTAL HEALH DISORDERS
16% child abuse cases
12% of suicides
11% cardiovasular disease
10% of industrial machine accidents
Now this is where it gets weird. u remember those few people that got taken to hospital at two tribes in relation to GHB? The press and public had a field day AND THEY DIDNT EVEN DIE! Yet you look at these figures which also state that 10 people per day in australia die of alcohol related death, GHB starts too look like small fry, so does cannabis, MDMA, LSD, Psilcybin, K etc etc... compare a drunk person to someone that is stonned. i think we all know the difference.. angry drunks are fuckin annoying. YET WHY IS ALCOHOL LEGAL? Im not saying ban alcohol.. quite the opposite.. im just asking the question and exposing the hipocracy in the system.. I think we have to start with the legalisation of pot.. which by the isnt toxic AT ALL...
