On this issue the governments should go one step further from the legalization and make all alcohol drinks tax-free, which allows moderate alcohol consumption, provides the great pleasures of the drinking but at the same time prevents any excessive alcohol consumption and the alcohol(ism) problems. On the other hand the Governments needs to highly restrict and tax three or four times more for all alcohol drinks, which facilitates excessive alcohol consumption that end up with so many alcohol(ism) problems including the notorious drunk driving fatal accidents. The alcohol epidemiological research irrefutably points out that almost all alcohol(ism) problems caused by the drinks having around 4% and above alcohol content. The regular beer is the most popular among. On the other hand alcohol drinks having around and below 2% alcohol cause none such alcohol(ism) problem. Unfortunately the government alcohol policy today not based on the alcohol epidemiological research but on the preposterous argument “all alcohol drinks irrespective of their alcohol content high or low cause the alcohol(ism) problems” put forward by the alcohol drink governing bosses.

I'm not one of those "legalize everything" nuts, though the Libertarian in me likes the idea in theory, I know it wouldn't work in the real world. All I want is fair regulation based on harm. If they can't demonstrate that it's more harmful than something which is legal (let's say alcohol or tobacco) or when the harm caused by prohibition is more than the harm caused by the substance (hmm, sound familiar to alcohol prohibition? The black market leads to a rise in power of those who benefit from the black market), it should be legal. In both cases, I think it's clear that marijuana should be 100% legal and taxed/regulated just like alcohol and tobacco.
