Pot is hallucinogenic, alcohol is not, it is a depressant.
Driving is a huge issue as there are no standard forms of pot sold. One has X amount of THC, another 10 times as much or more. We have been constantly told today’s pot is nothing like what the stoners of the 60s used, it is many times more powerful.
A user has no idea what dosage he is getting when he buys today’s products. Someone with slowed reflexes due to ingestion of depressants is a hazardous driver, but someone on hallucinogenic drugs isn’t a public danger?
Where is the FDA or the USDA on establishing quality controls, dosage levels, and safe blood levels of pot? When you buy a candybar, levels of salt, sugar, carbs, fat, etc are broken down to the nth degree, but pot labeling consists only of “really good stuff”.
Smoking cigarettes is bad, smoking weed is good? Really?
And one “candy bar” is actually a dozen servings. Why not make them M&M sized dope chocolate pills then? Or reduce the strength to single dose chocolate bars?
When it comes to violence and crime I would much rather have to fight off a drunk than deal with an angry pothead. Of course there are worse drugs in that regard than those two. But the average angry drunk is much easier to control.
Pot is hallucinogenic
If so why does no one hallucinate when stoned? I believe it is listed as a narcotic but doesn’t really fit there either.
