So it is your contention that if marijuana were legal, people would switch from alcohol to marijuana, thereby "saving lives"?

Some would, some wouldn't.

This is contrary to your previous statements that teens would smoke less if marijuana were no longer the "forbidden fruit".

I never said that.

Have people switched from alcohol to pot in the Netherlands where pot is legal?

I wouldn't be surprised.

Do you have anything at all to support your contention?

My acquaintance with people who prefer marijuana to alcohol.

Well that would make for a compelling argument in front of Congress, wouldn't it?

You make Anslinger look like a statesman.
