It is safer to drive under the influence of marijuana. Driving under the influence of anything (sleeping pills, drowsy medication) is stupid and wrong, because you could kill someone. That said, liquor currently kills 10's of 1000's per year on the road. Marijuana? I doubt there are statistics... I also doubt they're anywhere near that high, else-wise we'd have had MADD all over it. They're not.[/b]

This is perhaps the single most irresponsible post I have seen on these boards. Do you have any idea how that statement appears to younger posters here?

In NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM is it safer to drive under the influence of marijuana. You contradict yourself with your second line. Driving under the influence of anything... is stupid and wrong. I would add to that "INCLUDING marijuana".

Your point about liquor versus mj is also so freakin' silly it is beyond belief that you actually posted it. How many of those deaths due to drunk driving ALSO involved the driver toking up? None? Riiiiight. And currently it is much easier to measure alcohol intoxication and there are clear laws (driving over 0.08) are geared directly towards that. MADD knows that, thus that is where they are focusing their attention. And MADD is Mothers Against Drunk Driving, not MATI (Mothers Against Toking Idiots.)

You .... are.... delusional.

Like Five-Hole said, maybe you should describe how they're different, and that will contextualize things a bit better for us.

For arguements sake, lets say marijuana and alcohol are equal demons.

What about hash? Hash oil? Mushrooms? LSD? Cocaine? Morphine? Heroine? Crack? etc, etc, etc....

You don't usually go to the next drug without starting somewhere as "innocent" as marijuana. Don't be so foolish to think that it might not happen to you still, if it already hasn't. It happens easily enough. I know. I have been there, done it. Breaking out of the cycle was the hardest thing I ever did in my life. Getting started on mj was the root cause of a ton of future problems.

Wake up.

If you haven't done marijuana in the past decade, you may not be the best judge on how it's worse, better, or the same as liquor. [/quote]

On the contrary you little condecending dipshinguard, those of us that have gone through the cycle are BETTER judges about this. I have seen more lives ruined by drugs (including your precious mj) than all other social issues combined (including alcohol abuse.) I have EXPERIENCED where you have not gone... yet. I do not wish that on you or anyone else.

You are only fooling yourself.
