At least we're not stupid enough to believe that using alcohol is safer than cannabis. Someone has to be smart among the hordes of ignorant fools that plague society.

my stated position is as it has always been. If you are over 18 you can do what you like. Snort, sniff, smoke, spike whatever. But if and when your behaviour impinges on someone elses rights: for example you support your drug habit by stealing, or putting bitches on the stroll, or robbing pharmacies, then society steps in and sanctions.

Most recreational drug users in my experience are very boring dinner companions. Whereas alcohold drinkers, in moderation*, are wonderful company.

*and sometimes not so much.

And to turn your um "argument" (if thats what it is) around, "At least we drinkers are not blinkered enough to believe that cannabis is the nirvana of mind altering drugs with only positive effects". Bottom line" if it has mind altering consequences, chances are if you do too much of it, it'll fuck you up. Moderation in all things.
- Signed, an ignorant fool.

And I've never claimed alcohol was 'safer' than cannabis either.

Ban them both to enternity I say...
