Do you think "regulation" of alcohol has been a success? Alcohol and marijuana are not even in the same class of drugs. Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug and is notorious in being a gateway to heroin. If you want to hear the real truth talk to someone who has kicked an addiction to opiates. NOT someone who has been "quitting" for decades. You can take a small amount of alcohol and not get drunk. Any amount of dope will make you intoxicated.
