Why Is Alcohol Legal but Most Drugs Aren’t?

Question by : Why is alcohol legal but most drugs aren’t?
I personally enjoy marijuana and MDMA on occasion. I have not tried any other drugs, so I am only going to talk about these two since I know the most about them. Here are some facts.

Alcohol is physically addictive and frequent and excessive drinking can create a physical dependency. Marijuana and MDMA are not addictive and no physical dependency is possible.

Alcohol abuse makes people violent and can lead to abuse, rape, etc. Marijuana users like to sit at home, watch movies, and eat snacks (not harmful to anyone!). MDMA users like to dance a lot and hug inanimate objects (also not harmful to anyone!)

Ambien Addiction – Where to Go for Help?

Question by chackoperformance: Ambien Addiction – Where to go for help?
I’m really having trouble getting away from taking ambien. I was doctor shopping until it all blew up in my face recently and now all 3 doctors that were writing prescriptions have threatened to tell every pharmacy in colorado not to fill out the prescriptions for it. It’s not that I was taking the drug to get high (in fact I’ve told the doctors this), nor was I dealing it. It just took larger and larger doses to work to put me to sleep and if i try to sleep with out it… well forget it. Ever since the drug came out, I have had a normal sleep schedule. Since this happened I’ve been getting about 2-3 hours of sleep a night (if that). The only other medication that worked for me was Alprazolam but it left me feeling hung over for hours the next day.
