Legalize weed or ban alcohol, there's my goddamn stance.
I've lost several friends to the latter, have yet to lose one to the former.
Although I mostly agree on legalization for medicinal purposes, the argument of "alcohol is legal, so why isn't weed" is a dumb argument, considering yes although "natural" weed isn't as dangerous as alcohol, with alcohol, a mainstream party drug we've used since the beginning of civilization, the negatives are a lot more known, and as a result your average person won't drink more than 2-5 (cans?) one day every weekend before they decide they're at the top of their high and its time to stop. With weed, there's very little research of the negative parts of the drug, often ends up being a gateway to harder drugs, and doesn't function very well with parties, unless everyone's (using?) it.
Totally get what you're saying. I would say alcohol should be illegal due to all of the accidents it can cause, like drunk driving, etc, but we don't need another Prohibition Era. I don't drink alcohol (only 17), but I might get around to seeing what there is to be offered, maybe I'll enjoy it. I certainly don't need a whole lot, though. Unfortunately, there are those kinds of stupid, stupid human beings who put other peoples' lives in danger every time they get in a car due to DUI, and there isn't much we can do to prevent that other than to ban it altogether.
