Sorry, I misread you.
Although, there are probably some pot smokers that would also make a similar acknowledgement.
You are also a dumbass.
I am sure there are.

I wonder how many accidents are a result a driving while stoned. I'm gonna guess less than 1 million. Do I win?
Why, because you have a serious personality disorder and use alcohol to self medicate yourself into a state where you don't rage-drive? If so, there are better solutions than to get a little drunk before driving.
What point, if any, are you trying to make? That driving while stoned.drunk is the only way it causes you harm? That it is better to drive stoned than drunk?

Without searching the googles, I am pretty sure stoned is safer than drunk yes.
OK, but was that the point you were trying to make?
Let's assume it is. That is not very good footing to have for your arguement. A knife wound in the leg is safer than a shot to the face so I'll stab myself in the thigh.
Perhaps you should argue how it is not harmful...

This analogy would be better if shooting yourself in the face was legal (as long as the bullet isn't too big) but owning a knife at all (let alone stabbing yourself in the leg) was illegal.
It's totally legal to drink a small amount and then drive. It's not legal to even possess marijuana, let alone drive after smoking any amount.
No my analogy is just fine.

Your analogy misses the important fact that alcohol, the more dangerous of the 2, is legal to drink, while marijuana is illegal to even possess.
But it perfectly address the point I was wondering if he was making. So my analogy is fine. If you do not like it that is fine. How about you provide your own to address the specific point that you want to address?

Maybe something along the lines of it being legal to drive a car but illegal to even own, let alone actually ride, a bike.
Cars are more dangerous. Yes bikes are dangerous too. But the risk is minimal, especially compared to the risks of driving a car.
That wasn't so hard was it. Lol im just giving you a hard time Salty.

Pot is addictive
Is does effect your memory
It does make people lazy and unmotivated
But
Is isn't bad enough to make it anyone's business but the user.
Alcohol consumption is easily 50 more times dangerous to your health and the health of other people.
I think people would just like the government to butt out and have some consistency. If alcohol is legal, then there is no reason why pot shouldn't be.
I still don't think any other drugs like coke and meth should be legal. Those are very dangerous to society
What really should be discussed is banning pain pills. Those things are doing way too much damage

I don't advocate banning them, but I think people should acknowledge that this stuff is basically heroin. So many people suffer a sports injury or have an operation and are given enough of a supply to start them down the road to a serious addiction.
