REGARDING:
“One person smokes pot, another drinks alcohol. I have to ask myself, what is the difference?”
The pothead is less likely to hurt anyone in a driving incident.
David for safe drivers
Dwight worked in the santa rosa county school board maintenance department and is missed every day…
I see costly efforts everyday to fight this war on drugs, and yet I can walk into a liquor store and purchase this deadly chemical. One person smokes pot, another drinks alcohol. I have to ask myself, what is the difference? If they are bad, then they are all bad. Why not have a war on alcohol, as we do with other drugs? I wish someone could explain this paradox.
Geezzzz at Christmas.
It’s really to bad we can not do some kind of ounce of prevention
that actually works.
Now there are TWO LIVES LOST……..
I HATE TO CRY IN THE MORNING>>>>>>
Put him away in a cage…20 years and no parole

It surely would be nice if people didn’t drink and drive.
