Would you have preferred an anology comparing the relative negative impacts of alcohol and marijuana?

One has killed millions worldwide and contributed to countless violent confrontations. The other has caused some people to say “relax, man”, and tends to make folks calm rather than combative.

I am not against the consumption of alcohol but comparing it to pot is like comparing a nuclear bomb to a kid’s cap pistol.

"caused some people to say “relax, man”, and tends to make folks calm rather than combative......I've heard this over and over and it's a myth. People use and have used Cannabis to build up false courage to do violent or foolhardy acts. As a matter of fact this use of Cannabis to prepare to commit acts of murder goes back to early Assassins

....alcohol .... comparing it to pot is like comparing a nuclear bomb to a kid’s cap pistol.

Direct your clouded gaze toward the Mexican Border. The marijuana business is not as idyllic as you might think. Not too many muchachos shooting each other over smuggled tequila, amigo.
