You can’t even begin to compare the two

FAR MORE people enjoy alcohol than pot. Most adults stop using pot once they grow up because they see the stupidity of its use. We still enjoy a drink or two, taste and socializing without the need for mind alteration. Yet even alcohol had to be far more regulated, note the increase in DWI laws over 20-30 years. You want a repeat of that with respect to dope? Because that will happen with legalization.

I sure hope not you or anyone in your family becomes part of the 9-16% who gets addicted by this shyte. Stop defending or rationalizing it, it’s another scourge on our society.

Relevance?

16% of 30-34 year olds smoked pot in the last year (http://www.samhsa.gov/data/NSDUH/2012SummNatFindDetTables/DetTabs/NSDUH-DetTabsSect1peTabs1to46-2012.htm#Tab1.12B).

Absolutely - nobody should drive while significantly impaired by anything.

I sure hope not you or anyone in your family becomes part of the 9-16% who gets addicted by this shyte.

No idea where you got 16%; the 9% for pot is much less than alcohol's 15%.
