The point is drunks get away without worry of getting fired from the job as long as they show up to work sober. Why can't pot smokers get that same break. We all know the body count from smoking and drinking is 550,000 a year but pot kills 0. That fact alone blows away any argument that pot is a worse drug in fact a scedule 1 drug. Thank God legalization is here and growng.
You would do well to read the OP of the thread to which I just linked you:
http://www.debatepolitics.com/health-care/135971-pot-kills-w-498-a.html.
This thread accurately presents the many ways in which pot kills, including overdose (yes, it's simply a myth that one cannot OD on pot!), asphyxiation, cumulative brain damage death, auto accidents, suicides .. and the list goes on.
"That drunks sober up and go to work, so let's make pot legal" is a disconnect-irrelevant premise for the conclusion recommendation, so you have no rational cogent point here.
Again, you continue to compare the two, pot and alcohol, which is an
invalid spin premise, as I accurately presented to you in my previous post.
As study after study shows, legalization of pot would add millions of children, pre-teens, and teens to the list of pot-heads, creating horrendous tragedies in families all across America .. and for what? What gain would be achieved?
No gains of any societally valuable kind.
The right thing to do is to keep damaging, deadly, un-socially-redeeming pot
illegal.
Though pot-heads have a tendency in their addiction to disagree, they are, after all,
pot-heads, and, as the thread I linked you to accurtely presented, really not capable therefore of making a sound recommendation.
