I don't see either as either, as you should well know. I'm pro the legalisation of all drugs regardless of which are "more serious". I argued against the introduction of the smoking ban despite the fact I don't smoke, don't like smoke and do drink. I'm not just some self-centred idiot presuming my poison is better than yours
