**i have never picked up a paper and read that someone driving a car killed someone under the influence of marijuana, but alcohol, yes all of the time****

***reefer madness was funded by j.p. morgan who was threatened by marijuana replacing his papermills, as a better, cheaper, more ecological choice to be used as paper than cutting down millions of trees and stripping our environment****he was going to lose alot of $$$$, he couldn't have that

Answer 1

The correct answer is d.

Firefighters, paramedics, and cops know that potheads don't get high and get in fights or try to rob anyone. Odds are they'll drive too slow rather than too fast, and they tend to be polite.

My doctor says unequivocally that the health damage done by pot in society comes nowhere close to the devastation caused by alcohol.
