Let's use the most basic measurement.

How many people died from alcohol poisoning in 2016? About 2,200 (that is the average number EVERY year).

How many people died from marijuana overdoses last year? 0. That number has been the same since these things have been recorded.

So, yeah. Marijuana is much safer.

I know of 65 people who died because of pot poisoning, well technically it was just one and he shouldn't have been smoking while driving that bus.

That's not "pot poisoning", that's driving under the influence. You shouldn't drive under the influence of ANY drug.

(Also, link to story? I feel like if 65 people died in a pot-fueled bus accident I would have heard about it)

I'm pretty sure that's something in the way of a joke

Weird one, but better than that actually having happened, I guess!

I took a law enforcement class where the officer teaching it was against pot being legalized for one reason: there is no way to test if you're high. You can have pot in your system for a month, not be high, and yet a blood test will show you as high. Likewise, you can do pot, be highly impaired, and not have it show up on a test. There's also no way to judge 'level of impairment' the way there is with alcohol (and the .8 limit).

Also, less harmful does not equal harmless.

The start of this thread was someone specifically saying they thought pot was no less harmful than alcohol in the long run. This discussion is about which is less harmful.

That's kind of a weird reason. Pot being illegal doesn't make it easy to prove that someone was driving high, either. How do you know where they were coming from? It's not necessarily their own pot they were smoking.

Also, less harmful does not equal harmless.

This is not at all the point I am arguing, I'm not sure why you threw it in there.

From what I understoof back when my brother lost his driver's license, tests on the spot can rarely give a false positive, but blood tests can determine if you're a long-term user.

REALLY?! Man, the Marijuana Lobby must have buried the fuck out of that story because I googled it and could not find any info on it. And you'd think a bus crash resulting in 65 dead people would be a news story!

Never underestimate the power of big leaf.
