For the reasons I stated earlier, I have to respectfully disagree.


You are correct, of course.

Marijuana enthusiasts have gone overboard in vilifying alcohol as a way to get pot legalized. The arguments have some merit, and I think legalization should happen, but this notion that marijuana is some miracle herb with no ill effects is absurd.

Find a cost effective and reliable way to determine if someone is intoxicated on marijuana, and the resistence to legalization will melt away.

Resistance will melt away when the baby boomers start dying off. The lack of testing measures isnt a significant reason why most oppose it, hell most people couldnt even tell you if there was a field test for it or not.

well i laugh at potheads (including many of my friends and podcast hosts) who try to turn weed into some miracle cure

but in terms of intoxication, there isn't an argument. alcohol is basically the worst and that's why it is often brought up. the most fricked up people you will see on a single drug are drunk people. the absolute most fricked up people you will ever see are people who are drinking and taking pain pills or benzos
