The Ghost of RubangB said: Alcohol kills people whether it's legal or illegal, but it kills more when it's illegal, due to crime and bad moonshine (good moonshine is great though). Marijuana only kills people when it's illegal, due to crime. There are a ton of reasons why it's illegal, but none of them make any sense, since alcohol is the most dangerous drug in the world, the most advertised, the most accessible, and the most culturally celebrated. That alone proves drug laws have nothing to do with how dangerous they are to the body, or to car accidents, or to families. Marijuana doesn't put people with anger management problems over the edge so they beat their kids. |
I think you need to meet more stoners ... Go on a police ride-along and see how "Peaceful" people are when their judgement has been altered by Marijuana (or pretty much any drug) and a "Domestic Incident" happens. The feeling that you're more peaceful and insightful that goes along with drugs like Marijuana is not the same as actually being more peaceful or insightful.
There is no denying that Alcohol is a bad substance and causes a lot of problems, but the only reason why it seems to cause more problems than other drugs is because it is used by more people and the people who use it use it more often.
This isn't to say that it should be illegal, but the bullshit propaganda has to stop ...
