I know. One of the biggest marijuana prohibitionist entities in America are the DuPonts.

Ironically states that have since the end of Prohibition have tried to control drinking are now quickly embracing legalizing marijuana.No irony there - black market goods are beyond the reach of effective control.

One may enjoy a refreshing beer on a hot day, or a glass or two of wine with a meal, not seeking drunkenness. But the purpose of "recreational" Marijuana is to become "high".What ought we conclude from that?

What ought we conclude from that? Having a drink does not indicate intent to "mind alter"; toking up does.

Noah’s Mill bourbon is excellent. IW Harper 15 is very good as well. Exceedingly smooth.

Having a drink does not indicate intent to "mind alter"; toking up does.Having a drink is often but not always done with intent to "mind alter"; toking up (I'll stipulate) always is.
What ought we conclude from that?

What ought we conclude from that?That any accident or misbehavior resulting from the other-than-medical use of marijuana (or any drug) should not be treated as unintentional.
Beyond that, you may draw your own conclusions.

Surely that applies to alcohol as well. Unless it's your understanding that people often get mind-altered from alcohol without having so intended.

Some people can’t separate “drinking” from “drunk”.
They can’t comprehend enjoying a single serving of fine libations responsibly, be they participants or observers.
I drink mostly beer. some liquor, a bunch of coffee.
And drinking beer is way healthier for you than all the crap they put in sodas and energy drinks and whatnot.

Saw a report this past week: Millennial love booze. It’s one of their biggest expenses.
