Nothing like a booze vs. pot debate on 4/20

As always on 4/20, those who care about weed and are not smoking are writing about why people should be able to.

Philly’s own Mark Bowden of the Philadelphia Inquirer makes his argument about the “war on weed” and even provides a glimpse into his past, where he sat “cockeyed stoned” across the kitchen table from his inquiring father.

Norm Stamper of the Huffington Post reopens the debate with factual evidence that alcohol causes more problems, and actually calls marijuana users responsible.  Check out an excerpt below, and if you’re not busy celebrating, read the whole thing here.

“Anybody out there want to launch a campaign for the re-prohibition of alcohol? Didn’t think so. The answer, of course, is responsible drinking. Marijuana smokers, for their part, have already shown (apart from that little matter known as the law) greater responsibility in their choice of drugs than those of us who choose alcohol.”
