I don't believe in a recreational use of illegal substances. They are illegal for a reason (whatever the different reasons are, the law has spoken).
You already get the point about alcohol: If recreational alcohol use includes irresponsibility and regular binge drinking, it has similar effects as getting high on drugs. But if the person is over 21, it isn't a legal issue unless there is a law being broken.
But none of these truly compare to the most deadly legal substance: CIGARETTES. BAN THEEEE TO HELL!!!!
