Do a google search on the negative effects of alcohol and tobacco. And then go to your local convenience store and report back on the availability of those two substances.

1) I'm not asking anyone for information on these substances.

2) I quit smoking in 1989 due to the effects my smoking was having on my asthmatic son and daughter. 3) I'm quite capable of making up my own mind on whether I should or should not have a drink; whether I'm capable of operating a motor vehicle after having alcohol; and how much I should imbibe at any one time without someone needing to babysit me. Since I've made it through 49 years of life without driving under the influence and without destroying my liver by making good choices. 4) There is a significant difference between the use of legal and illegal alcohol - illegal alcohol often results in severe consequences such as blindness or death with only a small amount consumed. Legal alcohol, in most cases of alcohol poisoning, results after significant quantities have been consumed. How much is too much marijuana? What else was added to the marijuana to boost its effects (or even make it purposefully dangerous to use)? Explain how marijuana damages chromosomes involved in reproduction, and can significantly negatively impact the development of a person's offspring (this effect can happen prior to the fertilization process as marijuana impacts the development of spermazoa and can damage the ovum).? Alcohol does not have this effect pre-pregnancy. I could go on, but your obvious liberal(tarian) philosophy is showing badly.

Comparing the negative effects of pot to the negative effects of alcohol is a bankrupt argument, because virtually all of alcohol’s bad effects come from using too much of it and almost all of pot’s bad effects are experienced by using normal doses.
