[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 682710, member: 1963"] SWOT, alcohol is socially acceptable in our culture. Our government also makes a fortune off of it in tax dollars. This is why with tobacco taxes dropping precipitously as users quit, the government is going after e-cig users to replace the lost income. The planned taxes are much higher than the ones currently on tobacco. Alcohol has been around for a LOOONG time. In fact, many archeologists/anthropologists postulate that the reason grains were first domesticated and cultivated was for the purpose of making "beer". This is thought to have happened quite some time before cultivation for food use took place. Other plants with psychoactive qualities were cultivated by early hominins for religious or recreational use,long before cultivation of plants for food was wide spread. Something in what "makes us human" also seems to make us want to get "high". [/QUOTE]
