“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.
Impaired after one hit?
Well I admit it’s been several decades since I last indulged, and I hear it’s more potent these days.
But 1 hit? Really?
I bet you favor a .02% BAC limit too. Or would that invalidate your argument.
I have news for you. If you are average sized and you have 2 or 3 beers, you are “impaired” according to the law.
