Indeed, no rights for anyone who has ever consumed a beer or glass of wine either. /s

Marijuana is a Schedule 1 substance. Alcohol isn't.

Marijuana is a Schedule 1 substance.

Yes, it's true... and that fact is, to quote George Carlin, "Bullsh!! of EPIC PROPORTIONS."

To be a Schedule 1 narcotic, a drug has to have been found to have no legitimate medical use. A great many people who use medical cannabis would beg to differ on that point.

"Marijuana is a Schedule 1 substance. "

And that designation is completely arbitrary. Objectively, marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol.

I have personally witnessed two different people shatter their own hand punching a wall while drunk. I've also seen drunk people start fights for no good reason, shout and carry on for no good reason, and break things either intentionally or accidentally.

I have never seen someone high on marijuana do much more than ravage a bag of Cheetos.

“Marijuana is a Schedule 1 substance. Alcohol isn’t.”

That’s one of the weakest arguments for gun control I’ve ever heard.

Prior to 1971 it wasn't. (Thanks, Dick Nixon!)

And, alcohol was banned at one point in this country, but at the time, marijuana wasn't, so there's that.

Please show where in the 2nd Amendment it says, 'except for...'

Who cares? The second amendment reads "shall not be infringed". That's fairly clear to most people who can actually read and comprehend English.

That does not affect the nonsensical nature of your statement, or mine.

Are you suggesting alcohol is a benign substance that does not have a large mortality cost associated with it?

Or do you just trust every bit of nonsense our government puts out?
