 * Alcohol can be attributed to far more deaths than hemp.
 
 * Hemp is not overly harmful to an individuals health.
   (Actions while under the influence excepted, as per alcohol)
 
 * Alcohol is both legal and socially accepted.  Why not hemp ?
 
It's not the substance that kills, it's the dickhead that 
smokes/drinks/injects/snorts/etc it.
 
I have nothing against someone getting quietly stonned in the
privacy of their own homes.  I have nothing against people going
to a place specifically set up for smoking.  I DO have something
against idiots that do one of the above and THEN make a public
nuisance/danger of themselves.
 
Either ban alcohol, or lay off hemp.  Anyone who stands by alcohol
but tries to shit-can hemp should pull their head out of their ass 
and have a look around.
