“The path Georgia is taking now is a very treacherous and dangerous path,” said Terry Norris, the executive director of the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association. “The sheriffs are serious when they say that marijuana is a dangerous, addictive gateway drug. Even though we’re not taking about legalizing for recreational purposes, we believe all the notoriety of this discussion will lead to increased marijuana use by children.”
How many of our countries problems could be solved by independent critical thinking skills. The above passage shows such a lack competence and so many people will read and happily adopt this idea and continue to hold our country back.

When I was in college I was a pothead so I was very much one of those "alcohol is way worse than weed" people. Now that I drink fairly regularly but don't smoke unless I'm in Colorado like once a year I feel even more strongly that alcohol is way worse.
Maybe it's different for everyone but there have been plenty of times where I've had one too many and considered driving home or even did drive home. Thankfully nothing ever happened, but it could have. If I smoke I have zero desire to drive. And generally if I smoke I often think about ways that I can be more productive and do better in life whereas if I drink I am much more prone to making bad decisions because it loosens your judgement.
At this point I could see both alcohol and weed being illegal because there are problems with both, but I can't for the life of me rationalize weed being illegal and alcohol being legal other than how much it would it impact major corporations and lobbyists.

The reality is that weed isn’t really that bad for you...especially compared to alcohol. Alcohol use is linked to dozens of diseases where as weed is actually shown to eat cancer cells. The idea that weed is a gateway drug is true since you have to go to a DRUG DEALER to buy it. Do you think a drug dealer is happy with you spending a little bit of money on something that isn’t addictive?! Hell no they aren’t!!! They want you hooked on something that will bring you crawling back willing to sell your soul! Also when is the last time you heard of a woman get physically abused after her husband/boyfriend smoked weed? What about abusive fathers and weed? Date rapes and weed? Exactly!!!! Never going to hear it because alcohol makes people more aggressive and weed makes people more docile! Ever hear of the opioid epidemic? Weed would almost completely get rid of that problem! The ONLY reason weed isn’t legal is because pharmaceutical companies can’t make any money off of it! Ever know an alcoholic?! Weed can be addictive to a very small amount of people but by in large it isn’t addictive. The only thing bad about it would be people driving while impaired, but no one drives while drunk! Obviously this is a subject that drives me nuts! It is absolutely insane that weed is illegal and alcohol is legal! Insane that doctors aren’t locked up for getting people hooked on pain killers! I’d vote yes in a heartbeat to legalize marijuana!
this just in: Cops aren't exactly scientists, but they do know how easy it is to say the smell weed on a suspect and use that as probably cause to implicate them in other crimes.
Cops love them some weed smell probably cause. Locking people up for marijuana is a very lucrative business for municipalities and for the private prison system. It's gross and unethical.
