There has always been the great debate concerning alcohol and cannabis. How is one legal and the other one is not? How is the most destructive one legal, and the other one is not? In the picture above, you can see the words "Can you guess which one is legal?" at the bottom of the page. Above these words is a picture of a cannabis leaf and then a picture of a beer bottle. They each have three pictures that follow. Following the cannabis leaf (which is specifically a hemp leaf, because it has 5 leaves instead of 7, which means this leaf actually has no recreational value) you can see some friends chilling on the couch smoking pot, these friends chilling together watching television, and then these same friends happily frolicking together in what appears to be a magical rainbow that has appeared out of no where. You can also notice a strategically placed Bob Marley poster because everyone that smokes pot loves Bob Marley. Following the beer bottle you can see friends chilling on the couch drinking, these same friends out driving in a car, and then these same friends in a car accident. It is clear that this image is trying to convince you that it is a load of Tomfoolery that alcohol is legal and marijuana is not. Alcohol is by far the most destructive drug on this planet. The long term as well as short term effects alcohol can have on the mind and the body is sickening. Alcohol also can destroy one's social life and relationships. The number of alcohol related deaths in the USA each year is roughly 75,000. There is not one recorded death related to marijuana in history. Marijuana has medicinal value, alcohol does not. Marijuana is not physically addictive, alcohol is. Alcohol is a depressant, marijuana is not. I am in no way promoting the use of marijuana, however, I completely agree with that this picture is trying to portray and the message it is trying to get across.
