Alcohol consumption (again, we're ignoring the harms of the black market because if drugs are truly legal, there is no black market) is responsible for more death and destruction than every illicit narcotic combined, and it's not close.

Which city can i visit to see the devastating affect of alcohol abuse? Where alcoholics have taken over downtown and have turned the city into a dangerous cess pool of crime and shite/piss?

Im not saying alcohol isnt bad either.

I know that many people struggle with correlation and causation, but this is kind of impressive. Here, I’ll help:

New Orleans is a cess pool of crime and piss but hasn’t decriminalized hard drugs.

Portugal has decriminalized hard drugs yet hasn’t had its cities turned into cess pools of crime and piss.

It’s almost like the two aren’t actually causally related…

None. That’s the point.

When alcohol was illegal, during prohibition, there was a massive uptick in violence and crime. People still drank, but the black market enriched organized crime.

Now it’s legal, cheap and regulated.
