Alcohol vs. Marijuana

I still don't get it. Why is still legal for people to consume alcohol, which causes many many deaths, but in most places you still can't smoke pot without going to jail.

There are so many drunk driving accidents, how many pot smoking accidents have you heard of?

I know they tried prohibition before and people still made it and drank. So I know that won't work. I believe that most of the lawmakers drink, so they want to make the pot smokers look like they are drug addicts.

The fact is, that pot is much much safer than alcohol. It is not a drug, they are manmade. It is a simple plant that God found reason to put on this earth. Also, there are absolutley no other herbs or plants that are considered to be illegal nor are they considered to be drugs.

The worst thing you have to worry about pot is that you may eat more and get a little fatter, depending on what you like to eat.

Alcohol, on the other hand is manmade, but is not considered a drug. If you have ever heard of someone getting into trouble ( ie: DWI) , you will see that they are usually sent to some type of alcohol program. If someone gets caught smoking pot, they are usually sent to some type of drug program.

See the difference, alchol or drug program, they do not consider alcohol to be a drug !

They couldn't be farther from the truth, in fact, you can become physically addicted to alcohol.

This won't happen with pot.

Alcohol withdrawls can in fact kill you.

Pot is not physically additcing.

When you drink, you cannot see right and cannot judge distances well.

When you smoke, you can walk without falling, and even read a book.

So, what's the deal? Why is the safer of the two still illegal? I know that some states have decriminilized pot and that some have made it avaliable for medicinal use. Bravo to those states !

Now, Let's see what we can do about the problem drug alcohol, yes i did say drug. Much more a drug than a simple weed that grows on it's own, just here to help humans.
