Reply #9: Undoubtedly. The *users* of alcohol wreak far more havoc than stoners do

But most people can handle booze responsibly, and people do tend to obey reasonable regulations upon alcohol use.

I don't hold people who *do* drink in moderation to be responsible for drunks who get violent or drive while intoxicated.

Same with MJ use. If you're not driving, operating machinery or watching the kids, what skin is it off my (or anybody else's) ass?

It's the difference between malum prohibitum "bad because it's banned" and malum in se (basically "bad because
it's inherently bad")
