During a recent interview with a Professor in the UK on radio 4, a chap called Prof David Nutt, he was sacked btw, made a damn good point, why criminalise one drug say weed for example and “force” people to chose another drug, in this case alcohol, simply because one is more socially acceptable is pure madness, especially when alcohol does more damage socially and health wise.
So I laugh at people who say, hey you stoners are dumb I never take drugs, then they take a long sip of beer.
People should be aware of what constitutes a drug and what does not, before they make themselves look stupid.

If you dont know the story behind Prof Nutt look him up. Some of what he said was very badly judged but at the same time he does make a lot of sense.
