Alcohol is by far the most dangerous drug out there and has caused more chaos and havoc than all other drugs combined. If a person doesn't believe this then that person is naive. Its all about the money.

I'd argue the entirety of human history has a bit more to do with it, but yeah, the taxation issue is a small component there.

Whooooo boy I like these kind of posts.

Please state your definition of danger, and provide any sort of stat to back that up.

Yet again, define chaos and havoc and provide some sort of stat or any documentation of this. Columbia hasn't turned into an all-out warzone over liquor.

Alcohol has caused more havoc and chaos because of access and social acceptance. If coke and heroin were available at the same time alcohol was, you'd likely have more deaths from them. They're both more dangerous, especially in the short term. Not sure how you can even debate that.

Well yeah Alcohol is destructive, but it doesn't even compare to Heroin. More people die from opiod overdoses than car wrecks in the US each year. Alcohol is responsible for more deaths overall, but it's also legal around the world. Most all deaths are the result years of consumption.

If heroin had been legal for the past 100 years, I can assure you there would be more heroin-related deaths. It's inherently dangerous and can kill you the first time you try it.
