The issue of alcohol in society can be summed up thusly..

We're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't.

We allow it, and suffer the societal consequences.
We forbid it, and suffer the societal consequences.

I admit I find the defense of legal alcohol tinged with a certain sense of schizoid realitycheck- booze is the biggest addiction in the western world, which is why it's allowed and smoking pot isn't, I suppose. It's all very hypocritical.

Does anyone see a move towards pot decriminalization in the UK and US anytime soon? Will new administrations continue the prosecution of marijuana as the leading threat?

Perhaps we'll get some of that Sharia law and poof, no more ale.

On that day, I officially become an insurgent, I guess.
