The two deadliest addictive drugs, alcohol and tobacco, have been legal for a long time and kill thousands and destroy many lives each year. Millions of otherwise upright and law abiding citizens use and abuse those drugs regularly.

Should we take a hard line on them in order to redeem society?

The US tried this once, created some pretty powerful criminals and gave them a lasting legacy.

This is still happening with drugs that are currently illegal.
