It's only a matter of time now. The reefer madness maniacs are almost extinct! The older generation's lies regarding marijuana have been fully exposed.
Let's hope so. I have a close friend right now recovering from alcoholism. Not a pretty picture at all.


As adults we should all be allowed to make our own decisions about what we do with our own bodies.

It's also funny that you think your changing people's minds. No. Actually its not.
Meh, people of his mindset are literally a dying breed... so while it's sometimes amusing to go back & forth with them on this issue, we all know their side (anti-legalization) is rapidly losing the fight. Give it another 5-10 years, and it will be legal in most or all 50 states.

That still doesn't explain how (as you claimed) "marijuana is 10x more harmful than alcohol." Whether they have used both substances or not, the fact remains that alcohol is more dangerous... so for those who have ONLY used marijuana, their overall health and mental state are undoubtedly superior to one who's ONLY used alcohol.

What's your point? That marijuana causes drug addiction?

You must be a member of the going extinct tribe.

Believe it or not some people do not realize that driving while under the influence of narcotics OR ALCOHOL is illegal.
Yep

Even with a written doctors scrpit you can be charged with a DUI which is the exact same thing as a DWI.

Its amazing how many people think they can get out of it or its not breaking the law.
