We let the genie out of the bottle, so to speak, on alcohol. And it has all the problems you mention. Pot doesn't have that kind of cost because it has not been ingrained as a legal substance in our culture forever.
I'm guessing legalized pot would eventually result in comparable costs. Should we let another genie out of the bottle?
My mind and heart differ on this one for sure.
