Exactly! It is SO unbelieveable that on the one hand, you have something like hydrocodone-addictive, yes; more good points than bad....yes, and on the other hand is alcohol, a solvent approved for human consumption that probably has caused more deaths from accidents, bar fights, etc. (not to mention death from alcohol withdrawl, unlike a narcotic withdrawl which only makes you wish for it sometimes). Legalizing, quality controlling and taxing probably would put the country back in the black.
