[QUOTE=Koapaka;1998414]Actually WAY different than alcohol.....less destructive to the body organs, mental capacities are impaired either way, but alcohol makes people aggressive and confrontational where a couple of joints and you have the munchies and melt into the sofa singing Kumbuya...far less risky for our law enforcement officers to have to deal with. A couple zoned out is much less likely to generate an abuse/disturbance call....saving a LEO the potential for on of the most risky calls to make. I vote pot.

As well, most pot users are not violent offenders, which I would like to see our already overstressed law enforcement folks be able to concentrate on.

As taxpayers, we should ensure that monies we are required to pay to house criminals are keeping those risking our safety from us as a society vs wasting funds/space/money/taxes on someone partaking in something that is legal in almost 1/2 the states in the union. (driving impaired by ANYTHING....totally different story.)
