Oh I agree. Our personal experiences mean ****. So you give me some hard facts on why weed is ok and alcohol is the devil.

88,000 people a year die from alcohol in the us each year
Alcohol abuse cost us $250 billion a year

What’s the cost of drug abuse?
Based on percent of population what’s the percent of people who drink vs smoke pot?

Wow, that's more than car wrecks, guns, marijuana, and heroin all put together.

I can do math with you all night until I pass out from my beer drinking.

Alcohol is a factor in 40% of all violent crimes today, and according to the Department of Justice, 37% of almost 2 million convicted offenders currently in jail, report that they were drinking at the time of their arrest.

Alcohol, more than any illegal drug, was found to be closely associated with violent crimes, including murder, rape, assault, child and spousal abuse. About 3 million violent crimes occur each year in which victims perceive the offender to have been drinking and statistics related to alcohol use by violent offenders generally show that about half of all homicides and assaults are committed when the offender, victim, or both have been drinking.

You might want to switch to liquor. You are fighting a losing battle

Ok let’s say for the sake of arguement you are right. Alchohol is bad and weed is perfectly fine.

He broke the law. I don’t feel bad for him.

I’m drinking beer and I’m not breaking the law. If I jump in my car and drive later and I get a dui, it’s my 17ing fault.

Yes arguing with a dead head is just dumb

Oh I agree that breaking the law is breaking the law, but part of changing stupid laws is to talk about it when the issue comes up.

What he did should be no worse than some college kid with a 30 pak of beer in the fridge and a couple of fifths in the cabinet....which is perfectly acceptable in society.

We can agree that breaking the law and getting in trouble is what should happen... but the law is insanely stupid and hypocritical. Feeling sorry for the kid or not is really not important. What matters is working to make the laws right.

And it takes a lot more than message board banter to change laws. I'm not suggesting that. But when it comes up in conversation, the absurdity of the law should be discussed.

Must really hurt to know you got your *** kicked in an argument with a dead head.

How's that beer working out for you son?

 

[paindonthurt_]

Yeah well you haven’t convinced me abt the law but I don’t really care abt that.

I care abt people constantly making excuses for their own actions.

I am pretty sure we can blame this on Mullen getting under the skin of FSU.
