I hate to diappoint you, but I think that if people want to be stupid, they should be able to. I don't understand why they want to do it, but it's their choice. I've seen far too many lives destroyed by alcohol to think that smoking pot is worse.
Hate to be a wet blanket but I agree with you again. People sure DO have the right to be stupid. Keeps so many others employed in fixing them.
I don't condone alcohol any more than pot. But the stale argument of defending pot by citing alcohol just doesn't cut the mustard. Pot is worse as it is more of a "gateway" drug than alcohol. At least, that's what the medical field says.
