Exactly. Let it be, and just guide and educate people properly, that is all. After all, self-inflicted damages are by definition self-limiting.
In order to understand the teachings of Islam you have to understand the logic behind its rulings. Islam understands that for every act of moderation(for instance 95% of christians always drink in moderation and dont get intoxicated, but 5%do and get addicted) there will be a small minority that would not be able to control themselves. So Islam's answer is to abstain from a potentially bad act which might bring harm to some of the people. It is because till such time that you start , you will never know how you will behave. This principle is the basis of all the commands that Islam enforces on the muslims. I hope you understand why it is not allowed to drink in Islam.
I say, let people sin & be answerable to their God, no one else. Simple.
Is smoking Halal???? I need to reconfirm your quotes ... so give me clear references. Chapter and verse....
All the education in the west has not stopped people from harming themselves. How do you think it will stop People in Pakistan ?
does it really matter, I dont think I know a muslim in Canada who does not drink. Why do we even discuss such laws when they have no bearing on anyone, we only like religious laws that are helpful to us, but we tend to find ways around laws that we dont like.
I think you need to widen your circle of acquaintances!
Very true, but at an endemic level of costs that are acceptable to society, at least in the West. For Pakistan, it might be different, but consider that we have always had low levels of endemic drug use, albeit with a rise in the early eighties. The problems that arise in instigating and enforcing the ban are far more troublesome than the alternative, but we can debate that further.
lol studied in many universities here bro and involved at the local mosque as well, I know enough people to make a judgement call there.
studied in many universities?????????
i dont agree with that, personally. That sounds more like collective punishment/reward.
If you do something good, you receive reward, not the Muslim standing next to you who did nothing.
If you get drunk and do something "incorrect", you receive negative points, not the Muslim next to you.
If 5% of Muslims are unable to drive without being wreckless, the other 95% would still be allowed.

At least in UK the NHS has started feeling the pinch from alcohol related problems. In addition you need to count the cost of personal and emotional costs of drinking, which are substantial.
As to drugs, why do you say there is no significant problem in Pakistan. That is a very uninformed view.
