Drunks are SO last century

Back in 2009, research by Amanda Reiman at the School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley found that medical cannabis patients have been engaging in substitution by using cannabis as an alternative to alcohol, prescription and illicit drugs.[1]

Anti-pot warriors like The Heritage Foundation masterfully deflect the good news that drunk driving fatalities go down in legal states by focusing on the fact that a higher percentage of those road kills test positive for weed. The implied causality of cannabis is nonsense. More people are using weed because it's legal, but it's still the drunks that are doing the killing.

Let’s be honest; consuming alcoholic beverages is a fun way to celebrate, but let’s also cut the shit.  Alcohol kills; cannabis doesn’t. Cannabis isn’t physically addictive; alcohol is notoriously so. Cannabis-infused gatherings are famously chill and thoughtful. Last century booze bashes are aggressive laugh riots of over-consumption characterized by bad behavior and hangovers.

Happily this century Americans will put a stop to primitive drunken gatherings by raising kids who won't see the fun in getting shitfaced, being loud and acting crazy.

 

Hungover?  Bah! 

That's what you get for partying like it’s 1999. 

Look. Learn. Choose Wisely. Evolve.
