Alcohol KILLS thousands if not more people a day, and is 100% a more dangerous and ABUSED drug than marijuana could ever be. FACT!
A completely specious comparison. And I say this as the child of an alcoholic with a lot of alcoholics in my family as well as experience volunteering in an alcohol treatment program that focused on late stage clients. I am no fan of alcohol, its abuse or the impact on the individual, families and strangers who may be killed through drunk driving. That being said you are 100% wrong in your assertion above. Please cite your statistical support as well as documenting your powers of prophecy…I didn’t think so.
You are simply expressing your uninformed opinion. Further the use of alcohol far exceeds that of pot…thank heavens. So just comparing numbers is pointless.
Pot makes you stupid. It is addictive. It is a gateway drug. It is the most common drug named when entering treatment. It damages the brain, particularly of young people who never recover. Any medical benefits can be obtained through extraction of THC into capsule form. There is no reason to smoke pot. None…except you want to get stoned.
Unlike alcohol, there is little point in partaking unless you want your brain warped. Alcohol is used in a celebratory manner, as an accent to a meal, as a social activity (i.e. wine festivals, wine tastings, winery events). One can enjoy alcohol without turning into a drunk.
There is no good reason to ENCOURAGE pot use by making it legal. Ask people in Colorado, many of whom swallowed the baloney that it was a harmless drug and are now regretting it. Ask the family devastated by the father hallucinating on an edible form of pot who then shot his wife to death. Ask the parents of children rushed to the hospital for accidentally getting into daddy’s pot cookies. Ask the employers who cannot fill positions because a majority of applicants test positive.
This is a bad drug and anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to protect his or her desire to get stoned or making money off the drug trade.
Robert Sock, you are a kind soul but read your own posts…it makes you FEEL closer to God. You should never rely on feelings Robert. If we relied on feelings there would be a lot more mayhem, violence, adultery, and assault in this world. Controlling our feelings is what is asked of us.
