Ciggaettes are addictive and can kill but yet they are not illegall why? Please feel free to comment.
Alcohol is addictive, causes family breakdown, can end up killing people,causes people to become violent so why is this not illegal?








Drugs can effect anyone!!

Perhaps in a way alcohol is a more harder drug than cannabis, yes one is illegal and the other not,but when have you ever heard of someone beating their wife half to death after having a spliff? Have any of you heard the song by The Streets-The Irony Of It All ,if you have you will know what I mean if not have a listen. I know that some say cannabis can make you paranoid or cause mental illness, i suppose it effects people in different ways, but does that not count for alcohol too ???
