Assuming marijuana is illegal where you live, imagine if there were just as many, if not more, people illegally drinking booze as there are people illegally smoking pot today. Now, imagine that instead of all those people being passive-aggressive, mellow stoners, they were violent, raging alcoholics. Get the picture?

It has historically been shown time and again that, despite the beliefs of abstainers, criminalizing alcohol increases crime.
