Abusive Coffee usage has health risks too... one quick read:
Perhaps they are useful for some diseases, but dosage is difficult to observe when you want more. With legalization, it is unlikely that they will be used strictly for their intended purpose, it is better not to take risks.
And let more people die because of alcohol.
Genius.
Because of alcohol, not many die because of drugs. Alcohol is less dangerous than drugs, although it should also be attributed to banned substances.
Who told you that alcohol is less dangerous, when compared to drugs? Compare the number of people who die off liver cirrhosis to the number who die from drug overdose. The number of deaths from the first cause is hundreds of times greater than those from the second. And if we legalize the drugs, and make them available through regulated shops, then the number of deaths from overdose will decline further.
Do not forget that your statistics are not taken into account death from AIDS, murder with the robberies committed by drug addicts to a traffic accident. I think that if you consider these factors then the victory will be for the drug.
You were of course referencing to the alcohol drug disinhibition effect in your reply?

Alcohol, or tobacco or coffee are drugs. However read about the prohibition era of alcohol... did you think ot worked? Unintended consequences? even elephants seek fruits with alcohol.
Drugs have no place in today's society , it will surely surely end with nothing good for the entire world
Drugs have their own uses. Even the banned drugs are useful in various forms as painkillers, relaxants, and anti-depression medications. I agree that there seems to be a lot of drug-induced violence going on in this world. But you must understand that banning the drugs and prosecuting the drug users haven't done the trick for the last many decades.
This is my point. There are enough crimes and problems to handle without having the need to criminalize more fullconsent victimless activities. And what are the results of criminalizations and the drug war: War and discrimination of law abidding citizens. Some seems to love the battlefieldization of civilian area... enjoy. What is your problem with a free human being wanting to get (buzzed and booze, high what ever from drugs, boosted from coffee or get addicted to nicotin?). As long as this person has access to factual information about the substances... why should it matter to the law?
Furthermore ultimately only love isn't boring...
