they're both illegal, Schedule I drugs. Any parent who leaves this type of drug laying around for a 6-year-old child to find is guilty of child endangerment.

Alcohol is more addictive and more deadly than the illegal Schedule I drug marijuana. If leaving the latter laying around for a 6-year-old child to find is child endangerment, then isn't leaving the former laying around for a 6-year-old child to find even greater child endangerment?

My point was that the severity of the incident was compounded by the fact that the drug was illegal. The parents were engaging in an illegal activity, thereby placing the child at greater risk (see my post #40).

Is alcohol dangerous in the hands of a 6-year-old? Of course. But so is liquid drano, a switchblade, sulphuric acid, a gun, and a whole host of legal products.

What is your hangup with alcohol, for crying out loud?
