Meanwhile, at Oktoberfest...

The drunken debauchery often leads to fights, aggressive behavior, and bierleichen — so-called "beer corpses," which is what locals call the many passed out drunks lying on the hill behind the tents.

Cannabis bad doesn't mean alcohol good

That's not even the argument which was being made if that's what you're implying.

Their argument is simply: why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful?

But... alcohol should be legal, no? Despite the harm it causes, prohibition simply does not work.

Cannabis can also cause harm (albeit less harm than alcohol) but should also still be legal. And other drugs like fentanyl (arguably) cause more harm than alcohol...but should also be legal.

Prohibition is literally never a realistic solution to any drug or drug problems. Not a single country has ever had success.
