Alcohol and tobacco are more dangerous than some illegal drugs

Alcohol is more dangerous than cannabis, LSD and ecstasy and is just as harmful as heroin and tobacco. This is probably not a surprise to some while it may surprise others. But it should not be surprising.
Marijuana was ranked the 11th most dangerous drug, ranked behind alcohol who was fifth. And yet it is alcohol that is legal while pot remains illegal. In fact, tobacco and alcohol are just behind heroin as some of the most dangerous drugs on the planet.
The fact that alcohol and tobacco remain legal is not the problem that I have, it is the fact that these others remain illegal. If the drugs that are illegal became legal, then the government can regulate and tax them, which means they would be safer and the government would make money on them. Plus if the drugs were legal, then crime would go down because the supply would not come from cartels but pharmacies.
The fact that these drugs, especially marijuana, which has the possibility of helping cancer patients with their pain, is still illegal, is beyond belief.
