Weed legalized would become the drug of choice, making alcohol the #2 choice, worth more as an alternative fuel source. Just my Utopian dream......


I've said this before - according to the World Health Organization, American tobacco kills approximately 420,000 americans every year and approximately 3.5 million wordwide. This does not include the health problems created by smoking that are an incredible drag on our health care system.

W.H.O. also calculates that alcohol kills 110,000 americans every year - this does not include traffic deaths, just straight up alcoholism or alcohol poisoning.

These two drugs account for over half a million deaths in the U.S. alone. That is equal to all the americans killed during the entire Civil War!

But realistically, if pot were legalized, wouldn't that put a lot of Canadians and Native Americans out of business? wink grin stir
