Sugar is the biggest health issue in the 1st world. It’s arguable that I.t should be illegal, or at worst levels closely scrutinized and with “warning over consumption will cause sever health problems” much more so than any of the substances we’re discussing here.

The double standard of these things is exactly the argument being made for legalization. Basically, if you think drug addiction is a health and safety issue, and that making those substances illegal is the best method to combat it, then you must also conclude that most of humanity’s vices must also e illegal.
