Why are you talking about alcohol rather than marijuana in any case?

Your assertion was that legalizing cannabis would cause social harm. If your goal is preventing harm then you must also criminalise the currently legal recreational drugs to be logically consistent.

Drug that does objectively more damage = legal

Drug that does objectively less damage = illegal, it is too damaging

You have a right to an opinion, but logic is not open to interpretation.

It is; you are just making up rules and calling them "logic". These are just your arguments, and they are flawed and inconclusive.

Again, read my comments, I'm not interested in your comparisons if you don't even answer to the problems with your own arguments.
