| Champ: Pot not worse than alcohol. |
| 2014-01-20 |
| [Politico] WASHINGTON -- President Champ said he doesn't think marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol, "in terms of its impact on the individual consumer." Yet another war [War on Drugs] the Champ really does not believe in. "As I sat there, I thought: The president doesn't trust his commander, can't stand Karzai, doesn't believe in his own strategy and doesn't consider the war to be his," Mr. Gates wrote. "For him, it's all about getting out." ~ Robert Gates |

| #14 With alcohol, the long term physical effects are worse. With pot, the mental effects. In moderation, once you reach maturity, neither is particularly problematic. Sell them in liquor stores for a fair price. |

| #13 By extens, then, iff a person can go to jail + have his vehicle impounded by the Police + Courts for being drunk, i.e. consuming alcohol + related at or beyond the max limit legally allowed by law, WHY SHOULD A PERSON WHOM DOES THE SAME VEE MARIJUANA = "WEED" NOT SUFFER??? Lest we fergit, depending on his or her specific metabolism a person whom consumes a tiny or small amount of alcohol or weed can suffer just as much or worse as someone whom consumes copiously. WHAT MORE HARDER DRUGS, AS MANY IN FAVOR OF LEGAL WEED FOR MEDICAL ANDOR RECREATIONAL USE ARE ALSO IN FAVOR OF SAME FOR HARD DRUGS + NEW DRUGS??? |

| #7 Actually I agree with Obama: it's probably not any worse for you medically to be a pot head than to be an alcoholic. Both are bad for you in different ways, but I can't say honestly that one is worse than the other. |

| #6 Drip drip drip. Keep moving America over to the dark side by any means necessary, Satan. A WWII vet who faced suicidal attacks by jap forces said that when the jap commanders got their troops hopped up on saki, they could order them to charge 50 caliber machine guns and they would do it. The machine gunners had to cut them in half to stop the charge but it was out right suicide by the attackers. i would suggest impeachment, he is in charge of the public school system educating our children. |

| #5 Of course he would say that. Here, take welfare, the govt will provide for your every need. Smoke some dope and relax, don't worry. Stoned and stupid, just how the dems like their party. Its working well in San Fran with Nancy. Anyone with half a brain not fogged over with drugs would be ashamed of her re[presenting them in our nations capitol... |
