Giving my kids wine

We'll probably have to move this to the rant forum, but I feel that alcohol and cigarette abuse (legal drugs), not to mention pain killer abuse, prove that the only difference between these drugs and the ones on the street is the government's definition of them.

Potency and criminology are not the issue. Alcohol, tobacco and prescription drugs are every bit as potent as street stuff (but safer because they are under production controls) and the reason that heroin or cocaine produce criminals is because they are illegal drugs.

Did you know that the Bayer company created the recipe for heroin? Heroin was designed as a legal drug to both fight pain and morphine addiction. It worked on both fronts, except that it produced addiction too, as does Methadone, the legal drug to fight the illegal heroin addiction.
