Why Is the Government and Some People So Offended Over Marijuana and Not Alcohol?

Question by BANANA CANADA™: Why is the government and some people so offended over marijuana and not alcohol?
Marijuana can be a gateway drug, yes. But do you not agree alcohol is a gateway drug also?

As you see, marijuana is illegal pretty much everywhere, where alcohol is not.

I just think people need to open their eyes to this. Marijuana, in the long run doesn’t have as bad effects as alcohol does.
You really think that Angie?
Do you even know me?
Stop being so judgemental and consider the question.

Good point. Alcohol can be even worse than pot in some instances. We had prohibition in the 1930’s but it was repealed. I wonder if the anti-pot laws will be repealed some day as well. I know in Holland they’re having a lot of success with it.
