Also, alcohol only has the terrible effects you guys have described in the hands of weak minded individuals who turn to it daily to escape their concerns, or who drink and do something stupid like drive afterwards.
Alcohol has a well developed industry that surrounds it, but buying illegal drugs only supports drug dealers and drug cartels, which is another reason why I am against them.
We can agree to disagree, but also agree that anything that alters your state of mind is only dangerous in the hands of those who have weak minds.
