Marijuana is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink?

Lying about the relative dangers of pot and alcohol, as

our social and criminal policies do now, is sending the wrong message

to our children.

@HarryJAnslinger hey, harry. You've changed quite a bit over that century you've been missing since you made weed illegal, it's good to see :D hahaha

This issue has reached critical mass. The government cant stop it. So they had better deal with it or get hit by the bus. Same goes for parents, keep your kids away from alcohol, tobacco, and weed or reap the consequences. Anyway the purpose of the government is not to baby sit kids, of any age. 1-100

nice name - that guy was a total douche

I wholeheartedly agree with you, parents should talk to their kids more.. this complaining about such a thing of " my kid may ..." if you want to educate them do so let them chose when they turn 18 ...alcohol is legal and they still have trouble controlling the abuse .. so the same thing is bound to come about in some fashion though i do not know of any statistic of pot that show its worse then alcohol and or cigarettes combined.

@vtguy429 In other words, people are sheep. Its funny to me how these people think they have the right to decide the freedoms of others...even when such freedoms dont affect them at all. The whole "you cant smoke cause my kid might" argument is as fallacious as it is disgusting.

[HarryJAnslinger]

These people really think that it is their right to tell someone else if they can use marijuana? Really? I thought this was America.

[MrJeffsVideos]

Taxation is the wrong reason for legalization. How many voters have lost their rights over felony marijuana convictions in the last 70 yrs. , & how has this effected the political policies of our country ? Who's Opinions have been stifled ?
