“You can’t compare alcohol to cannabis! There really is no comparison. In short: alcohol kills, cannabis heals. Alcohol is toxic. People can and do die from alcohol overdose. Cannabis is non-toxic. It’s literally impossible to fatally overdose on cannabis. Alcohol abuse is the third-leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. (It turns out that drinking poison isn’t good for you.) Cannabis use does not increase mortality. Alcohol is physically addictive. You can be so addicted to alcohol that you can literally die from withdrawal. In contrast, cannabis is not physically addictive. If you want to talk about “psychological addiction,” be my guest (of course, that’s also possible with alcohol … or sex, or shopping, or video games or a thousand other things humans find pleasurable), but let’s at least acknowledge there’s no cannabis equivalent to delirium tremens. Alcohol, as a disinhibitor, is a MASSIVE contributor to violence. It’s involved in something like half of all violent crimes and 70% of domestic abuse cases. In contrast, cannabis use has never been linked to violence. If anything, it DECREASES the risk of violence by pacifying the user. While they can be overstated, there’s a reason we have the stereotypes of the “belligerent drunk” versus the “mellow stoner.” I know which one I prefer to be around. It’s time we end the idiocy of cannabis prohibition and give adults a safer, legal alternative to alcohol.”
