Of course alcohol is worse . BUT , how many killings have you read about where the death is over stealing booze ?  When is the last time a home was invaded and people forced to produce their half rack of beer, cash and then get killed ?   Nearly every home invasion isn't over stealing property , it's over drugs. A 17 year old was killed in Palmer . The police have listed the motive as the victim using up the shooters pot.    Alcohol has ruined more lives and destroyed more families than any substance . Adding pot to the mix isn't going to help . It's going to make things worse.
