Im writing a paper on Why I think Prohibition of Marijuana is a down right stupid. I want to show statistics of deaths caused by alcohol and I was wondering if anyone knows a website that has these stats? Any help would be awesome. Thank you.

Don't use alcohol as the scapegoat. Point out the positive qualities and effects marijuana has, and how it could better society or people. Try to avoid glorifying it because something else can be worse.0
-
MAJOR LOGIC PROBLEM pointing out that alcohol may be worse, totally irrelevant.Music is not a competetion.0
-
As others have said...if the paper is about why marijuana should be legal, then you need to support that argument, rather than injecting an anti-alcohol argument into it.0

I don't see any reason not to include the long-term and short-term effects of Alcohol and Tobacco. Of course, as in life and your paper, they should be both taken in moderation, don't turn it into an anti-alcohol/tobacco paper, but a mention of them being legal and having arguably much worse effects on the body isn't a bad idea.Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North."0

I'd imagine cdc.gov would have stats on this.0

Thats what I plan on doing. I am pointing out all the positives of Miss Mary but I need other things as well. I dont really see how its irrelevant as some of you say. Alcohol is more dangerous for you then Marijuana but its legal. How is that not relative to my argument? Im not saying my entire paper is going to be anti alcohol because I agree with the right to drink and in moderation alcohol isn't bad. Same with pot. Pot can be a bad thing if its used to much. But like alcohol Marijuana is good in moderation.Shows:

Is it stupid that alcohol is legal but marijuana is illegal? Yes, but they are completely different substances, with completely different histories.0 -
also cant fairly compare alcohol/tobacco and weed cause of sheer numbers. whos to say that if it is made legal that idiots wont be driving stoned and also causing accidents or that people wont be smoking weed before and after then enter every building which may also cause lung cancer and affects from second hand smoke.
look at how they are hammering smokers being in public and you cant even get a buzz from others smokers. while i dont think weed will cause as much domestic abuse as alcohol, people have proven irresponsible and inconsiderate with alcohol and tobacco. its bad enough i cant eat at certain places with out smelling like smoke afterwards or having to avoid certain streets at certain times when walking cause some idiot may come staggering out and looking for a fight.
good luck with your paper but i think human stupidity trumps any positive that you may point out. unless it is made illegal to leave private property while under the effects of weed. then i dont think there is much arguement to why it cant be legal.
plus the government doesnt need another source of income to build bombs.0 -
I will definately try to find time to help you with this later. I love doing papers like this. First off I'm thinking about the whole drug war picture. Legalizing marijuana would have do so much for the drug war and also in terms of terrorism and border issues since IT GROWS EVERYWHERE and we wouldn't be importing it anymore.bombs, dropping down, please forgive our hometown0
