You have to add a barf alert to that kind of post.

Only those that abuse alcohol are trouble.
For the most part, alcohol is a food purifier mentioned even in the Bible directly with food. It is also a known blood thinner.

If used in moderation or less it isn't an issue, whereas pot goes directly to the brain faster than an injection.
Don't believe me?
Go look up what is considered a faster passage to the brain, the lungs or the injection. You will be surprised.

The stomach with alcohol is a much slower way in, you can have food with it and it hits a whole different area of the brain.

They are NOT similar. Though you are right that people who abuse it, like any recreational drug users should suffer the consequences.

You're a knucklehead if you truly believe this drivel.

MJ is no where NEAR as damaging as alcohol. Nor does it produce nearly the number of addicts as the "Jesus Juice".

Marijuana is much, much safer than alcohol. This is an indisputable scientific fact.

Alcohol kills tens of thousands of people each year. It kills them quickly, with alcohol poisoning. It kills them slowly, with liver cirrhosis, heart failure and cancer. Of all the poisons known to man, it is one of only twenty-five or thirty which is unquestionably proven to cause birth defects.

Marijuana never -- never-- killed anyone by overdose, and far fewer than alcohol in car wrecks. I'd drive a thousand miles with a pot-head at the wheel before I'd go around the block with a staggering drunk. The same is true of crimes of violence; there's simply no comparison between a whacked out pot head watching TV and eating Pringles by the can, versus a mean drunk looking for a fight in a bar.

If alcohol had just been discovered, busybodies of your ilk would be clamoring for it to be treated as a Schedule I drug, with lengthy prison sentences for mere possession.

I think free men ought to be allowed to destroy themselves by whatever means they see fit, and that the health of this nation would be substantially improved by a switch from alcohol to marijuana. Anybody who can argue that alcohol should be legal and marijuana should not, is an IDIOT and no true conservative.
