    About 60% cases of violence where the police has to intervene have to do with alcohol.

    The thing is that drinking it looks innocent, since you have to drink (water) in order to stay alive. But alcohol is literal poison.

      See my other commnets in this thread.

      Also, we’ve tried alcohol prohibition and the results were worse.

        Too true. That makes me worry about tobacco prohibition as well. And just when the world is starting to move on from cannabis prohibition, it seems like we really need to keep making this mistake eh
