Non-toxic? I guess if you skip the IQ and schizophrenic and so on effects. Saying the blatant non-lethal effects are meaningless when they are so severe and so universal to the users. Not to mention severe psychological addiction.

I doubt anyone’s died from a few drinks on its own. I’ve seen people messed up from both, but weed tends to turn people into mushy leftwing losers. That’s why online forums are so full of those types that just post about it 24/7.

Hopefully this trend will be reversed in short order. There’s a major liberal swing going on including the whole gay thing as well. At least with drugs there’s legit damage done and people usually get sick of it after awhile and will limit it again.

And the main reason is that people like the effect pot more than a glass of wine in general. The rest of your shit about people thinking a few drinks will kill them is just as stupid as it gets, sorry.

Show me a single study that proves more than just correlation. There are nearly identical studies that show diagnosed schizophrenics and bipolars are several times more likely to use cigarettes/alcohol than the average population. These studies do NOT prove using hemp, cigarettes or alcohol causes mental illness. It only proves a correlation that mentally ill people are more likely to abuse ALL substances.

On the other hand, alcohol abuse has been 100% PROVEN to cause irreversible physical damage to the brain and liver. Alcohol abuse can easily result in deadly poisoning. Withdrawal from alcohol addiction can result in death. These are 100% proven medical facts and you can observe the damage during an autopsy. You can go to a detox clinic and find guys with inflamed livers sticking out of their side.

I'm talking about alcohol ABUSE, not “a few drinks”. Both alcohol and hemp are safe in moderation(as most things are) but abusing alcohol is far more damaging than abusing hemp. We have countless dead bodies, dead livers and direct physical brain damage with 100% proof of causation. Alcohol actually rots every single organ in the body but liver failure comes first and is usually a death sentence.

“Not to mention severe psychological addiction.”

One can become psychologically addicted to almost anything. Even if it is dangerous and interferes with their lives. Compulsive behavior is a natural part of human nature. Should we ban all inanimate objects that contribute to compulsive behavior?

"Universal"?! LMAO! The studies you refer to explicitly show that IQ and schizophrenic correlations are FAR FROM "universal."
