Tvert said alcohol abuse “contributes to social problems like fighting, sexual assault, property damage and domestic violence. Marijuana use has never been linked to these types of issues.”

I smoked pot (as almost all my freinds did) for more than 20 years and have seen all kinds of other "issues" linked to marijuana use.

I've known people who drinking never displayed the problems linked to alcohol above, but when they smoked pot had all kinds of mental problems and couldn't drive a car safely.

I still don't think pot is that big of a deal in general, but I can say that since I quit, my mind is clearer and I am more stable emotionally than during the years I smoked.

I wonder what companies would do, that test for (and prohibit smoking) pot, if it became legal?

"I still don't think pot is that big of a deal in general, but I can say that since I quit, my mind is clearer and I am more stable emotionally than during the years I smoked."

I think there are two lessons here. No one should use intoxicants in large quantities or frequently. Two, the government shouldn't be involved in it.

"I smoked pot (as almost all my freinds did) for more than 20 years and have seen all kinds of other "issues" linked to marijuana use."

It's a sad state of the pro-marijuana movement when the best line they can come up with is: "alcohol is worse."
