Yeah your right my bad. You didn't say anything about driving safety. Some people on this board are citing driving safety in their opposition and there isn't a lot of evidence to show that marijuana use is any more harmful in that regard then alcohol. I agree that there is recent evidence that marijuana impacts brain development and can impair people's motor functions. I'm not sure who you were quoting with your "'safe and healthy alternative' to alcohol" comment though. The weight of the evidence we have to date does seem to indicate that marijuana use is at least "safer and healthier" (though of course not safe and healthy) than alcohol. If you have links to credible and respected research which supports your more oppositional opinion please share.
