Actually, I am not advocating banning drink (lethal or not). The fact is that drugs (I gave E as an example purely because that has hit the headlines in the past) CAN kill with one pill. Unless you drink something poisonous, drink generally will not kill you with one glass.
As regards to my position on legalising cannabis is that I think it should be. While I do know one person who has Schizophrenia that was triggered by a joint, I know people who use cannabis regularly. I also know one or two who have found it to be a particularly effective Pain Killer, with fewer side effects than many commercial pain killers (Paracetamol being the worst).
