I have often thought that alcohol should be illegal & pot should be legal! Unfortunately, they've already tried to outlaw alcohol during prohibition but it was under very different circumstances!

Having been addicted to alcohol for over 10 yrs, I know how damaging it can be. Btw, I'm no longer addicted & haven't had a drink for over 20 yrs.
