As apposed to the drunk driving right through the stop sign and killing a family of four.
Any reason given for why marijuana should not be legalized can be directly pointed at alcohol for the same reasons.
Until one is ready to prohibit alcohol, again, their arguments against marijuana are hypocritical.
I conducted lots of urinalysis lockdowns in the Army, sat on admin separation boards for those who popped hot, and p**d in the bottle more times than I can remember.
Alcohol is eliminated from the body within 72 hours & occurs naturally; it’s water soluble. Consuming alcohol is not illegal, the abuse of it is.
THC is foreign to the body, fat soluble and embeds in fatty tissue for up to 30 days. Major difference in terms of exposure, effects, and detectability.
“Alcohol is a drug!!” is a common saying among pot users from wayback. We’re not even on the subject of pot legalization and increase in crime where it is.
The two are not the same and are not equivalent.
