Marijuana becomes a psychological HABIT......Alcohol becomes a physical ADDICTION. Your body doesn't become dependent on THC to survive, whereas your body will become dependent on alcohol after enough abuse. Case and point, this is the biggest difference of all between what's already legal, and what's being fought for. I would rather we compare alcohol to a mild heroine/methamphetamine/etc in it's ability to control habitual abuse. Weed is but a choice each time of use/abuse, no matter how many years it's been in our system.....it's never a MUST have. Alcohol isn't addictive overnight, but drink it daily for long enough and you'll not be able to stop without huge symptoms, not just getting a little pissy for a few days as weed would cause. So, this country would rather legally allow a more harmful substance to be readily available instead of the lesser evil.......yet more typical BS from our control tower:nono: Growing or buying for personal use should be completely legal so long as a state minimum/maximum allowance is followed. Tax it, treat it like alcohol and tobacco - simple stuff imo......why blow the easiest concept to shit because of some unknown chemicals that can't be broken down or identified? Hasn't stopped the FDA yet, they just won't put their approval on it......big deal, so start the market already......fuck sake......sometimes this government acts like a bunch OCD tweeked greedmongers scared to death that we'll get away with a few bucks behind their backs
