Yes I completely agree. I think of our great marijuana legalization and the predicted depravity that was going to result. It didn't. There aren't stoners driving all over the roads, causing mayhem and madness. Alcohol is still the killer to beat.

The drug black market thrives while our friends and family suffer or die.

There are actually quite a lot of people driving under the influence of non-alcoholic, but it seems that actual enforcement and prevention has been dialed back over the last few years.

That said, a lot of those same people were probably driving under the influence of various drugs even before legalization/decriminalize.
