So where is the line drawn?

I think the line either had to be drawn back before Alcohol or Caffeine became socially acceptable, or it needs to be moved just outside of "Things that can kill you easily through ingestion". I understand the line has to be drawn point of view, I just don't think there is a way it can be done on this because it just doesn't have the adverse effects any worse than that of drugs we have already allowed. Psychological Reactance says that people want what they can't have and so those who already use while it's illegal will probably continue using, early on in legalization some will come aboard early but many won't stay because the allure of it will wear off, especially with no chemical dependency. There in may be the line, Cocaine and Heroin have chemical dependencies associated with them that pot lacks.
