Opinions on recreational drug use? - Page 5

I'm pretty much against using narcotics such as nicotine, alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and the like. But other drugs I'm not so against, I have no problem with people smoking pot, dropping LSD, or tripping on mescaline or peyote. These drugs are unaddictive, are relatively harmless (although still capable of abuse), and do not damage the physical or mental health of the user.

I just don't understand why some of the safe and non-addictive substances such as marijuana and acid are highly illegal, while extremely addictive and body-destroying substances such as tobacco and alcohol is allowed for consumption.

Makes no sense to me.

Any opinions?
