I've had worse experiences from overdoing pot than I have from overdoing booze, thus my anecdote trumps yours! Alcohol and pot are both wonderful in moderation and lovely in high amounts. Both should be legal, as should tobacco and whatever other substances people want to ingest.

a lovely poster posted:No, all drugs are not the same, regardless of whatever stupid anecdote you're going to put forth Not saying they are. I just find it to be a pain in the rear end when people who like one drug evangelize for it and hate against another drug. Adults should be allowed to choose what substances they put in their body, and laws should only be designed to limit societal harm (think drink-driving laws and such). Someone was saying how much worse their experiences with alcohol had been, and I was merely posting a counter-anecdote. Neither should be a basis for policy, because everyone has different experiences with various substances.

bawfuls posted:Well then it's a good thing a lovely poster provided us with research showing that everyone's anecdotes of "I've had worse experiences with alcohol than cannabis" are in line with reality. No, the only thing that's ever been posted is that alcohol is more dangerous, and that's a supported fact that I don't disagree with. Subjectively, my experiences with marijuana have been worse/more terrifying than my experiences with alcohol, even though I recognize that alcohol has almost certainly had a greater physical effect on me. Why are weed evangelists so defensive? I like weed, alcohol, tobacco, mushrooms and acid all just fine, and I'm deeply addicted to coffee if you want to count that as well. All I'm saying is that all these things should be perfectly legal for adults to put into their body. Having some stupid conversation about which are more dangerous is not constructive assuming we're all coming from a position of legalization.
