“The defenders always compare pot use to alcohol abuse. Both do great harm. Funny how they rationalize that way.”

Excellent point, although I disagree with you on pot doing damage to people’s lives in the manner that alcohol does.

The damage usually occur at opposite ends of a lifetime. Alcoholism tends to go with age. People develop problems in their later years. Pot use tends to impact people at a younger age.

It's tough to compare a destroyed liver with lost reasoning skills qualitatively. How do you compare something that used to be to something that never was?
