> The 750,000 arrests were for possession or dealing.

Then the statistic is entirely meaningless when comparing pot to booze, as booze is legal. If the government declared tomorrow that the possession of purple shirts was illegal, a lot of people would get arrested, but that would say nothing about the actual danger of purple shirts.

Your post #133 stated that it wasn't the government's business if people chose to get "all tore up at home". If people were only smoking pot at home, there wouldn't be 750,000 marijuana arrests each year. That was my point.
