Smoking Life Away

In most jails most people are there because of a drug related affiance. I am not saying they are bad people for doing that stuff, but if you really thing about it there are worse drugs out there then weed. For example beer, is so bad for you if you drink to much, you get drunk, i forgot is has the worst side effects, you are dizzy, vision impaired, the list goes on. Then why aren't people in jail for drinking beer. I guess the saying goes smoking your life away really makes me laugh because it is so true. I think they should make drugs like weed out there for the public, they could tax it, plus there are worse drugs out there then that, i not saying i do weed i am saying that if there are worse thing out there then why is it not legal?
