Why should Xanax be a Schedule II drug, while Tylenol is not? Distinctions in type of drug and potential for harm and abuse are calculated all the time, not simply an assessment of private as opposed to public harm. Also, by your argument, nicotine should be illegal, as it harms both the user and the passive inhaler of the smoke, and the healthcare system, as smokers cost a lot of money to keep alive.

I do believe nicotine should be illegal. I found nicotine in several energy drinks in other countries. I seen several people say they were addicted to several of these drinks. They didn't know they contained nicotine. Several of them developed high BP as well. A result of the high amounts of caffeine.
I see people murder and assualt people over marijuana quite often. I also see people lose their inhibitions and do things they wouldn't do without the drug. You can say alcohol causes the same problems too. But i do not believe just because one drug with similar negatives is legal that all drugs with the same negatives should be legalized. The facts is that marijuana and alcohol causes alot of problems in society why make one easier to get.
