Is there really any comparison? If you look at the statistics there is not really anything to compare. The number of alcohol related car crashes to the ones that have to do with pot is crazy. Not near as many die because of weed. If so many die in alcohol related car crashes then why do they have parking lots at bars? Just one more thing wrong with the country we live in. If someone wants to get off work and smoke a joint he should be able to. Yes I can understand that they should not be driving. And they should not be smoking it around kids. Yes I understand. Is it really worth it if there is no victim in the crime. If you sell it to someone then there is a victim. If you steel from someone then there is a victim you should be punished. If you are harming noone except for yourself then youshould be able to. Everyone says weed is the gateway drug. That is a lie alcohol is the gateway drug. Think about it?? Who smoked before they drank??.......Not many. Anyway I'm stoned right now. Yes illegal but still better than being drunk all the time.

The crap of it is we don't want it legalized cause then we'll have to pay way more cause some shirt and tie will tax the hell out of it. I drank first and for awhile and then one night I had enough to make a decision that changed my life...for the better. I enjoy bud! I actually only smoke about twice a month but it is a fantastic way to calm down and enjoy Izzy's buffet! I've never had a situation that I couldn't handle when I was high, but i've had quite a few when I've been hammered. Great discussion!

well the way i see it there is really no comparison. they are both bad for your health. i think if people are going to smoke and drink. they shouldn't be driving or be around anyone. they can hurt somebody in the process.

Definately should never hurt anyone. It just seems weird that there are much worse things out there. I do not think I should be a criminal just for some reefer.
