Alcohol is worse. Ask any cop, ER personnel, or rehab personnel.

Maybe in states where pot is still illegal... As someone who dealt with pot heads on a daily basis for 25 years, I can share a couple of observations. First the cops did not respond with us to most marijuana related calls. As hard as it may be to believe, the long term the behavioral and medical problems related to marijuana usage are now actually worse in the part of Washington State we live in. This is in part due to the fact that legal marijuana now outsells alcohol and cigarettes combined by two to one. And the illegal trade is just as large.

Worse than previous, or worse than alcohol?
Asking legitimately.

Pend Oreille, Lincoln and Stevens Counties are selling the shit out of the shit. Besides the $$$$ there’s something else these three counties have in common?
