TAKE A LOOK AT BOOZE

I just wanted to comment on the statement that marijuana is a gateway drug.
I'd like all of you people to take a look at alcohol. How many people do
you know who have smoked pot before they've had alcohol? In my experience
the answer is none.

Now I know that they are never going to make alcohol illegal again but it's
about time that people admitted how much worse alcohol is than marijuana.

For example, how many teenage girls go out and get stoned and then are date
raped in comparison to how many teenage girls go out and get drunk and then
are date raped?

Another example is car accidents. How many car accidents are caused by
people who are stoned and how many are caused by people who are drunk?

(You've got a point, but the people making the laws on weed are not going
to look at the effects of booze.)
