I don't even know if I'd agree that alcohol is worse. I guess you are in part referring to David Nutt's research. I'm sure his findings would be different if some of the other drugs on the list were decriminalised or legalised. The media haven't been that sensible with the reportage on that report. At least it labels alcohol as a drug and takes into account the bigger picture.

It's all law and nanny state - don't we give humans any credibility any more? It's good to have the debate. I've brought this up with family, my mum sees drugs as a black and white issue - but she's happy to be drinking wine whilst she's damning pot smokers. There is such a thing as moderation mother.

(There's a lot of that - I don't agree - so I'll down vote you mentality up here in the cloud :))

Eh? You are responding to the wrong guy. I just said politics doesn't belong here.
