Imagine a world where alcohol and drugs do not have adverse side affects that makes it so mighty popular. What would stop the government from making it illegal,nothing. We have KFC, perfectly legal, but we all know what good eating those fat immersed pieces of poultry would lead to. There is substantial evidence to prove that KFC food can make you obese and bring in heart related diseases. Still, the government wouldn't ban it. Is it addictive? It could be. I know for sure, Lays chips are addictive. The mono sodium stuff or whatever they add on makes sure of that. Why doesnt the Government ban it. What is it about a natural herb like marijuana that twists the government's panties in a twist? I can vouch for the increase in creative juices that alcohol and drugs can induce. As far as I know none of the junk food can bring the same kind of productive energy. You might ask, why compare an innocuous food item with a deadly stimulant? I would say why not? We take stimulants for all our illness, stimulants to make us get out of depression, stimulants to relieve pain,most of which have long term side affects. So how does a stimulant for the mind affect the conscience so badly?
The choices we make to take us faster to the grave should rest solely upon our educated shoulders. If we wish to sink our teeth into that tasty, oily sheekh kabab Big brother only helps elevate the desire of the unattainable.

The common argument is to differentiate between things that cause physical dependence and psychological dependence. Physical dependence is hard to get out of, I should know (don't ask). Psychological dependence, on the other hand, probably only needs the advice and help of a good friend, or perhaps a counsellor. I believe food cravings are psychological, but then again, so is pot. Oh well, looks like we can only hope they legalize it.
