“Oh yes, they are such moral equivalents”
Actually, I would say alcohol is roughly equivalent.
Wouldn’t you?
“Actually, I would say alcohol is roughly equivalent.”
No, and that is indeed the crux of the argument.
If marijuana’s effects were equivalent to alcohol’s effects, it would make little sense to ban marijuana.
However, as I posted above, most of the people having a drink today are not going to get impaired with it.
Most of the people smoking pot today - virtually all, unless they suddenly have to snuff out the dutchie for some strange reason after one little hit - will be impaired.
Thus they are not the same.
