As someone who enjoys drinking the occasional beer or two, as well as (much less often) smoking a bowl or two, I have to say it always bothers me when legalization advocates try to score points by showing alcohol consumption in the worst possible light and then saying, “But, hey, *that’s* legal!” Let’s be honest- the blue-noses they’re trying to convince to legalize pot will just look at something like that and say, “I guess they’re right- maybe we should criminalize alcohol!”Report
