From what I've seen throughout my life, alcohol causes far more significant behavior problems than weed.

Again, pretty much every negative for alcohol is there for weed
Alcohol poisoning kills close to 3k people a year in the US. Weed poisoning or overdoses account for ZERO deaths per year.

Research has shown a reciprocal relationship between excessive alcohol use and violence. Weed? Nope!

Alcoholism vs weedism? Really, there's not even a need for discussion on this topic.

I could go on.

The fact is we are all born with cannabinoid receptors in our bodies. We don't have alcohol receptors. Alcohol blocks brain function/GABA receptors which is why an alcohol overdose can lead to coma; whereas, weed leads to naps with weird dreams.

OP after reading how stupid their post was.

You must drink a ton and constantly shammed because of the things they do while drunk. Classic distraction tactics.

The argument that weed is not any worse than alcohol is bull shite. If you smoke it, you are exposing other people, often against their wishes to it. Drinking a bottle of beer doesn’t get someone else drunk.

You can be pro-weed, but stop using the “it is no different than alcohol” bull shite.


you are definitely in your early 60s.

Pro-weed advocates ignore everything but weed, that's why they are pro-weed.

Pro-weed people also conveniently ignore the wat they add tremendously to greenhouse gases by smoking weed, cow farts are more important.

Fine. I will. Because it’s WAY different than alcohol and should be handled accordingly

I can't even believe that you got 73 up votes for this so far. The argument is so stupid.

This, my reps response is always that the sheriff opposes it, so she does as well. Non sensical is the correct description.


That's code for "I am taking bribes from the Sheriff's Association". She needs to be reminded she votes on the will of the people and not the will of the sheriff. Or just voted out.

Yes and no.. While it is hard to shotgun a IPA to your bud and not look awkward ... Both substances do affect other individuals, just in differing ways..

This arguement is tired and a copout.. Both substances alter brain function..
Now I've never known someone to smoke themselves to death, but I do know people that have found the bottom of the bottle...

True... But you really got be all up on somebody to get a contact high..

quote:

Well it really isn't.. In moderation neither is overly harmful.. But people will abuse both unfortunately... Thats why states like Colorado where its legal have seen dramatic increase in traffic deaths since legalization.. So not only do you have to deal with drunks on the road there you also contend with high AF dinguses that think they piloting a magic carpet...

I will say that I know what you were getting at with your OP... It was your delivery that got the shitstorm brought down on you.

Argue this with someone who has an alcoholic or recovering alcoholic loved one.

Won't go well.

Both should be legal.

The complete misallocation of law enforcement funding alone makes the argument for decriminalization.
