I use to be involved with the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML),
ad I'd go around saying the same things this professor used to say - "it's not as bad as alcohol",
"it's not as bad as heroine", etc. Then it occurred to me that was the same logic as saying
"shooting yourself in the hand isn't as bad as shooting yourself in the head". So, what's your
point? Just because there's something worse doesn't mean you should do it.

According to that kind of thinking, you SHOULD find someone with herpes and sleep with them.
Why? Because it's not as bad as finding someone with AIDs to sleep with.

If you want to smoke pot and zone out staring a thumb tack in the wall, OK, go ahead.
But arguing that "alcohol is worse" or "battery acid is worse" only makes sense to stoned people.
