Fiorina Says Marijuana More Dangerous Than Alcohol

[ClydeR]

During her factually troubled debate performance last week, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina accidentally made at least one somewhat accurate remark: "We are misleading young people when we tell them that marijuana is just like having beer. It's not."

Fiorina is right — just not in the way she meant. She was arguing that pot is more dangerous than alcohol. But the evidence shows the opposite is true — marijuana is, in fact, safer than alcohol.

This distinction should be a big deal for Fiorina and other presidential candidates: Getting this right isn't just a matter of being informed; it's also key to understanding some of the major issues surrounding marijuana, alcohol, and drug policy today.

Was Fiorina right that marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol? She absolutely was correct. If you smoke marijuana, you will go to jail for many years, which is much worse than what will happen to you if you drink alcohol.

You almost had me there. I mean, it's IMPOSSIBLE to go to prison on alcohol based charges, right?

No no no no no no no no! I am starting to like Fiorina as a candidate (certainly far more than His Royal Dumbness...I mean Trumpness), and so Latrin can't like her.

She is a nice speaker sure but a liar and factually incorrect about a bunch of things she said.

Not to mention logically dishonest, my daughter died of a drug overdose, fails to mention she overdosed on alcohol and prescription painkillers, so marijuana is bad, fails to mention no one in thousands of years has overdosed on marijuana. Basically she's a giant cunt.
