It isn't an issue, alcohol abuse is wrong, pot is wrong.
You can drink and do good things for your digestion and thin your blood, it is specifically mentioned as a food purifier in the Bible.
Pot has tons of negatives that I listed earlier by at least two articles full of scientific studies. Nothing makes it worth of legalization except for the very sick IMO.
Mind you, I know the difference between moderate or less use of alcohol versus abuse. I bet you do also.
Why do you ignore all the more dangerous drugs that kill more children and innocent people than pot ever did? Do really have any idea how full of Sheet the Government is about illegal drugs?
I for one would make pot legal and collapse thousand if not millions of dealers, smugglers , and terrorists around the world. I would use all the money to help the abused children of alcoholic parents for starters.
The money saved by law enforcement , the Court system, Lawyers, Incarceration, would be huge. The benefits out weigh all the pro illegal arguments hands down. gee all the people that are getting stoned ALREADY now pay the US Government to do instead of Poppy down on Clinton Ave.
