That is an interesting point. For some reason, alcohol enjoys a more positive reputation than pot. I never really considered why that is. I wonder if it's because of places like bars where it was more of a social intoxicant and pot was done more in the home, in private? I'm just guessing if that's true.
Good point, though.
