[Know your rights]

[pot is]considerably less dangerous than the legal recreational drug alcohol.

there are already major restrictions on alcohol. Many behaviors with alcohol can land you in jail.

And yet the less dangerous drug is more heavily restricted ... why should that be so?

[A CA Guy]

Alcohol is more restricted by far, it has to pass all the food and beverage laws and if you screw up and get drunk in public there could be big consequences.

Pot is such a subculture deal that those practicing their illegal drug sacrament don't even raise to a level to be screened by food and beverage laws, they are all illegal.
