Yeah we wouldn't want to cut in on the alcoholic population now would we? That would be bad for the alcohol industry's business.
I have an IQ up in the 120's...I am a heavy marijuana smoker. I don't get the "retard" connection. While under the influence of marijuana, I can say, without question, that I have never done anything to get myself in trouble nor have I ever done anything that would put me or anyone else at risk. I usually just take a few bong hits, put on some nice music and chill...watch some cartoons...eat a few reese cups and go to bed. If that is detrimental behavior, then I am guilty as charged.
I can't say the same for Alcohol. I have been in more fights and general trouble over the years than I would care to mention while under the influence of it. It makes me beligerent and careless. When I drink, especially dark liquors for some reason, all I want to do is find a fight. Usually, it's not hard to find one.
The real reason that marijuana isn't legal is because big tobacco lobbyists and alcohol lobbyists don't want anyone cutting in on their piece of the proverbial pie. If marijuana was legalized, both would stand to lose money. They gotta pay for those private jets and cigar boats somehow.
