there's no comparison.
Alcohol is one of the most destructive, addictive substances there is, yet it's the most widely used, and legal?
Cannabis has about the same potential for addiction as caffeine, it's physically impossible to overdose, there are no definitive studies linking smoking weed to lung cancer without the presence of tobacco, and it comes from a godly plant that has a myriad of uses/benefits. Medicinally, economically, agriculturally, etc.
The government wants to keep people safe, right? By keeping "dope" off the streets and raiding grow houses, and spending 4/5 of their federal budget on marijuana, with the other 1/5 going to cocaine, meth, heroin, speed combined. Where's the logic there? Oh that's right, there is none, because it's all about money, it has nothing to do with actual logic or health concerns.
Yes I smoke weed, and I'm proud of it. I smoke every night when I get home from work, because I can. I couldn't drink every night, I couldn't snort coke, I couldn't pop pills, without repercussions, without having it take something from me in return. PFWYG. But I can smoke the ganja, because it's not a taker, it's a giver. There's no hangover, you don't get withdrawals, you don't crash, yet meanwhile it enhances your senses, puts you in a great state of mind, relaxes your body, relaxes your mind, but doesn't INHIBIT, it doesn't surpress thought, or logic, or self-awareness. It enhances those things, it brings them out, it increases self-awareness. You can't smoke weed to get away from your thoughts, it will birng them to the surface. It's very unique as a drug, and it's characteristics are far more beneficial than destructive.
The world would be a much better place if everyone had joints in their hands, instead of bottles.
