A - it is already socially acceptable, but illegal.

B - is a world full of stoners any worse than a world full of drunkards?

C - what if alcohol were made illegal, and pot legal?

Just like legalizing alcohol made the world a full of alcoholics?

I think pot use would jump up if it was legalized but would eventually even out when that fad goes away.

And at the same time, alcohol use would probably drop.

I don't smoke pot. Haven't in decades. If it was legal, I might once in a while.

What can you do drunk that you can't do stoned?

(I've never been either, so I wouldn't know.)

No, I'm watching TV. Very similar effect, I gather.

My bf. When I drink too much (more than 2 drinks) I fall asleep.
Weed makes me tired too but still "functional".

I'm finding it very strange that many in here seem to think that if someone smokes pot at all they are a "stoner". Makes no sense at all and not what I have experienced.

I think it's just a term of endearment.

And if you steal low value items or small amounts of money, you're not a thief.

That is ridiculous, there is no equivalency.
Yes, you are a thief.
But, if I drink a beer that does not make me an alcoholic, if I smoke one cigar a week I am not addicted to tobacco, if I play the lottery once every two weeks so I can dream about "what if" for a week for fun with my wife I am not a gambling addict, if I bungee jump once in a while at the fair because I like the thrill I am not an adrenaline junkie, and if I steal low value items or small amounts of money every now and again consciously I am not a kleptomaniac.
If everyone who does not think like me is "bad" I am an ass.

The poll is prejudiced, with three negative words in the title (Which is worse, booze or pot?). Alcohol and marijuana both have demonstrated positive benefits at the right doses (e.g. Cannabis extract shrinks brain tumours: http://www.newscientisttech.com/arti...5&nsref=dn6283)

If you asked the question as "Which is better, alcohol or cannabis?" I think that you would get a different result. Of course, that would lead to the debate "Better for what?"

Sorry you can't see it. Do you fear being labeled?
