There's no telling how many lives have been lost and ruined due to the abuse of these drugs. Now hear me out. Don't misunderstand me, I believe all mind-altering substances are very bad, but I think alcohol is just as bad, if not worse, than pot. The government just hasn't figured out how to collect the tax on pot if it were legal. There is no evidence that pot is worse for a person than alcohol.
Some people say that pot is a stepping stone to harder drugs.
But, I would say that alcohol is actually the first step. I'm not an advocate for legalizing marijuana. I'm more of an advocate for stricter controls on alcohol. Now, let's talk about the really bad stuff. This is the first war that I have ever seen where you aren't allowed to do anything to the bad guys.
