The only physiological comparison I've made even implicitly is that both are mind-altering substances that can lead to dependency (more so in the case of alcohol). The relevance of your alleged physiological differences has yet to be shown.
but the legal, cultural and historical comparisons between the two intoxicants are also bogus.
Any such comparisons are in your mind - as is the relevance of the alleged differences.
the so called “legalization” of drugs has been a disaster wherever it has been implemented. The experiences in the Netherlands
That is not legalization but decriminalization.
and Switzerland ,despite the nonsense and propaganda spouted by vested advocates, has not been good.
Needle Park was a stupid idea, and as could have easily been predicted created a small magnet to hyperconcentrate users and sellers. Statewide legalization will be a very different animal.
Enjoy your dope,
I use no drugs, legal or illegal.
but like I said, I prefer to have as little to do with you and your ilk as possible.
And I prefer to have as little as possible to do with those who substitute personal smears for reasoned debate - except to expose to others the moral, factual, and logical emptiness of their position.
Bottom line is that both of you under the guise of freedom and liberty are advocating polices that will result in more drug use especially by unsophisticated young people who are very vulnerable to grave harm. Usually despite protestations to the opposite, such positions are taken to justify personal behavior and habits. Your positions as they are being implemented by a “tolerant” culture tired of confrontation will lead to more suffering and decline in America. You can rationalize with self serving faulty reasoning all you want, but in the final analysis, you are very bad guys propagating harm.
