Wow.
You might want to reread the thread as I suggested because somewhere along the way you missed something that I was responding to.

OMG. I got it. I agreed. Did you read that part where I agreed?
I didn't need to compare it to alcohol. I wanted to. To prove a point. If you want to take out everything harmful from society, lets start with caffeine, cigarettes, junk food, vehicles, animals, food... the list goes on and on.
My reasoning behind wanting pot legalized have nothing to do with it's affects in comparison with other equally or more harmful substances. It's all about personal choice and the benefit of the government. However, the proponents of keeping it banned keep bringing up that it's harmful.
To say that pot should NOT be legalized because it's harmful, and yet being okay with the consumption of other harmful products is as hypocritical as people who say pot should be legalized because it isn't as harmful as other legal substances.
