How many people who smoke marijuana also drink alcohol?
Alcohol causes more violence than marijuana. There’s statistical data to support that. Marijuana has side effects like anything else, but it doesn’t directly kill as many people as alcohol does. That doesn’t mean people can’t drink alcohol responsibly, or that you can’t acknowledge that fact and still be against the legalization of marijuana. I get annoyed by the dishonesty on both sides of this issue. Marijuana is still a drug with risk. It’s irresponsible for people who support it’s legalization to push it as having all these great positive effects with no risk, but just because the government suddenly decided to tell us it was illegal doesn’t make it something it’s not either.
