No, that's not what I meant. Any intoxicant changes you while you are on it. Pot alters the way your mind thinks, people's personalities change. THAT's why it's more dangerous.Pot stays in your system. I've known people who change dramatically when taking up pot. Booze doesn't do that to you unless you go full alky.Pot turns people into planters. You are delusional. The real problem with it is people think they are fine or smarter when they are stoned. Nobody thinks alcohol makes them smarter. Most people have no problem with alcohol but many times more do it, it's commonly sold. Stoners eventually want the bigger high too so your analogy is false.
LOL....'pot turns people into planters'.....an idiotic statement even by your usual low standards.
"Most people have no problem with alcohol but many times more do it, it's commonly sold."- and most people have no problem with marijuana even how its commonly sold now.
Treat pot exactly the same as alcohol- regulate it, tax it, criminalize dangerous behavior (i.e. driving under the influence).
Alcohol absolutely changes people. Usually for the funner. Occasionally for the more violent. Pot is far, far less dangerous than alcohol.
By any semblance of logic, if the speed limit is 65....then going 64 would also be legal. We've established our level of acceptable harm in a drug with alcohol. Logically, anything LESS harmful would also be legal. And weed is obviously less dangerous than alcohol.
Very slowly and very insignificantly. With no appreciable increase in violence. While alcohol and violence go together like peas and carrots.
Alcohol is far, far more dangerous. Its far more closely tied to violence, you can OD on it quite easily, its addictive, can be utterly debilitating, and has some of the worse withdrawal symptoms of any drug. Alcohol DTs can *literally* kill you.
Weed has no appreciable association with increased violence (with an excellent argument that it quells violence), you can't overdose on it, its no where near as debilitating, has no appreciable withdrawal symptoms and isn't addictive. It is habit forming.....but so are cupcakes and porn.
In my experiences, potheads are far less dangerous than Alcoholics. And Alcoholics are killing themselves in the process. No one dies from Marijuana use.
