Of course it being legal and available is a contributing factor, but there's just better substances we could choose to make the chosen legal recreational drug for society.

Like Canada. We just need to outlaw the alcohol. But, alcohol consumption is down considerably since legalization of cannabis, and even more so with younger of age generations.

Yeah legalizing less harmful drugs will definitely help. Unfortunately a lot of the world is still fully under the influence of 1960's propaganda.

Boomers. We call them boomers. An this is just one social paradigm the majority of them share that is harmful to society along with hoarding wealth and fucking up the housing market.

Sorry, no. The saying is drugs and alcohol.

A drug is any chemical substance that alters the way your mind or body functions. This broad definition includes everyday items like caffeine and prescription medications, as well as over-the-counter remedies and illegal substances. Alcohol is a drug.
