Drug and alcohol abuse are largely a symptom of a dysfunctional society. People self medicate when they dont hsve pleasure or meaning in their lives. Also if we can eradicate most child abuse we would drastically reduce drug and alcohol abuse to near elimination. Being a victim of child abuse is main culprit (even when people dont realize that's what it is)

Drug and alcohol prohibition is only treating the symptom, not the cause.

The biggest predictor of a young man being a murderer is being raised by a single mother. Should we legalize murder and prohibit single motherhood? Does that make ANY FUCKING SENSE AT ALL???

I’m not sure what you’re sharing is fact, and it doesn’t make sense to focus on a less solvable problem. Yes, if our society was basically perfect then it’d be perfect. If we solved all poverty, depression and abuse, a lot of other things would be better. Okay great. That was a waste of time. I’m talking about the achievable.

Drug and alcohol prohibition is extremely effective, and a much easier solution, and I’ve never seen evidence that what you assert is true. Should we allow drunk driving because it’s a “symptom of a drinking problem” which is a “symptom of child abuse”? Your argument is so fucking stupid.
