Why should I write to ask them why drugs are illegal. I WANT them to
continue to be illegal. But frankly, I have my own personal beliefs
as to why drugs are illegal and alcohol is legal.

But concering alcohol being dangerous, I wonder what the statistics
are for a drunk vs. a heroin or cocaine (or meth) user robbing and
maming.

Frankly, though, if they would make alcohol illegal, I'd obey the
law, try to get it changed so I could drink tasty wine and beer like
other civilized (France and Germany?) countries do. I don't think
society should be penalized for others' misdeeds on something as
basic as wine and beer. However, we are penalized over others'
simplest misdeeds constantly. A fact oflife.
