“Maybe” alcohol has health consequences? Like 95,000 deaths per year?


Absolutely, i more made reference to how when somebody mention health impact of weed somebody else say "whatabout alcohol unhealthiness" as though it is relevant.


Of course it is relevant. Many of those 95,000 annual deaths would be preventable if a good variety of quality cannabis was more widely available and its use was more socially acceptable.

I also believe such a paradigm shift would largely eradicate domestic violence.


I had a grandfather die of alcoholism. I'd much rather smoke pot than drink alcohol and long term it's almost certainly safer from what we can tell.

It's also hard to be productive drinking but pot can have the opposite effect.
