So you are one of THOSE, cowbell? Alcohol and tobacco LESS HARMFULL than dope? What kind of world would you create...dopers strung out in the parks, where kids should be playing? You have sh!t for brains fella...

By dope, I mean cannabis. But even if by dope I meant heroin, dope is less harmful to society than tobacco and alcohol.
Dopers strung out in parks? I dont know about you, but where I live it is the chronic alcoholics that stumble through the gutter where I am. Never have I seen one smoking dope.
Even so, how many thousands of people die due to drunk driving, over-drinking, violence while drunk, or diseases caused by chronic alcoholism? At least 500,000, I would wager.
At least .5m die from tobacco-caused diseases each year.
Yet how many violent crimes due to being stoned, how many cannabis overdoses do we see each year?
NONE.
We see more people die from overconsumption of aspirin than cannabis each year.
People smoke dope in a park in the name of religion? I dont care. And yet, we are supposed to tolerate a cult that promotes suicide bombing, presumably becuse it has been around longer.
