Alright people. If you had to choose between the legality and taxation of either alcohol or pot (but not both), which side do you choose and why? This thread will probably die, but I want to open up a discussion about it. At least semi-seriously anyway.

>>> -Not a single case of overdose related to pot -Most People don't get violent on weed -Less hazardous to your health -It is a self-pollinating weed that grows virtually anywhere if we let it. -The Sex is way better than alcohol -much less packaging needed for resale -less energy needed to produce it and ship it -you can use the fiber for different applications... secondary markets (paper, Rope, clothing)

Stoned drivers are heading very slowly for the nearest drive-thru window or 7-11. Or too high to leave the house and ordering pizza! I have yet to meet a stoner who drives aggressively and over the speed limit like drunks.

I was expecting more anti-pot, pro-alcohol angry ranting but this is off to a good start.

seems to me that people consume alcohol without necessarily the intention of becoming impaired. I cook with it all the time. It seems as tho the point of 420 is to become impaired. Why would I support the use of something used to become impaired over the other? exactly im with you on that really

Alcohol is poison, there is nothing good about it. Personal ganja use should not be illegal. Too many are in jails and prisons over pot..it's silly as hell. The 'war on drugs' is a joke!
