re: Resident Gump POV on Honey Badger & friends.....

Marijuana is fairly cheap, more socially acceptable, doesn't carry a mandatory jail sentence and you don't feel like blowing your brains out when the high is gone. But for some people "addicts" the high from marijuana is just not enough. I guess the difference is recreational pot smoker vs. hardcore drug addict (former recreational pot smoker). Alcohol affects more of the population because is it is legal, socially acceptable, culturally acceptable and propaganda enhances what it can do for you. You crack open a Bud Light and 5 girls in bikinis show up. It really forms a false expectation in the minds of people. If the commercials showed you getting in a wreck and killing a family or being hungover the next morning I think the appeal wouldn't be as strong.
