This isn’t 60’s strains anymore.

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

That said I personally do none of the above.

Should be “These aren’t”...

I better lay off the reefer...

I don't even scarcely believe that line, which implies that it's only a matter of amount. No, it's the same drug, THC. The very same drug. Only difference with higher concentration is less hits for the same sinister thrill.

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.

As someone who in a former life has spent a lot of time on patrol with LEOs in a major crime-ridden American city as part of a year long training observation assignment I can assure you weed is the LEAST of the substances causing the issues on the streets. Alcohol, fentanyl/heroin, coke/crack, meth… in that order. It weed harmless? No. But it’s nowhere near what Right Wing Vegan, who has pathological levels of hatred for it, constantly makes it out to be.

alcohol is LOUD....weed is that silent little drug that is insidious....

you see a drunk you know he's a drunk and shouldn't drive....

you see a weed head and you frankly don't know what he is going to do....

just admit it.....weed has mental effects on people and once they come up with an immediate blood test/urine test/breath test we will see the true carnage....what's been blamed solely on alcohol is probably a mix of alcohol/weed/opiates...

for me, I drink rarely....so I'm not defending anybody.
