it feels so weird once you start looking at alcohol just as another drug, how many people have it as their drug of choice and that it is so normalized while most other drugs would be a taboo in most societies
the only reason alcohol isn’t banned is because it is trivial to make
nutrients humans need + certain life forms that rot things
not able to be restricted
if banned, people would make their own crappy alcohol which would likely be more harmful
(I don’t support drug bans, war on drugs did not work, the government should just make getting rid of addiction easy by providing proper healthcare (Portugal does this I’ve heard))
i mean meth is pretty trivial to make, dmt is trivial to make, not to speak about mushrooms, weed
Can you imagine if Breaking Bad was about alcohol and not meth, it would just be The Bear, basically. But a brewery.
I can buy everything I need to make alcohol in the baking aisle at any supermarket. It won’t be very good, but it would be booze.
Many naturally occurring drugs are as easy or easier to make, weed (dry + burn), coca (literally just chew the leaves), shrooms (grow + dry). But the argument holds for those as well. People literally produce their own (or buy from someone else who produced it illegally) stuff which might be contaminated, just because the government wont make it legally available.

And most other drugs aren’t nearly as destructive for you as alcohol.

The only difference is the profit it brings to the corporations. Same with nicotine/tobacco

yup or the drugs have to be perscribed by your doctor, only select few are licensed to pedal drugs and this is until it is not fitting the narative of some politican, then they will leave you strung out and marginalize you
