A century of scaremongering propaganda about marijuana in this country has obscured one undeniable Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol both to the individuals who consume it and to society in general. For example, alcohol use significantly contributes to violent crime; marijuana use does not. Yet our laws are specifically designed to punish adults who make the rational choice to use the less-harmful substance. As we steer people toward alcohol in this manner, we are actually making our society less safe. This is a point dramatically underappreciated by the American public—and recognition of it could reshape the politics of reform. Marijuana Is So Why Are We Driving People to Drink? breaks the mold of traditional marijuana advocacy and offers the best hope yet for a healthy dose of sanity and reason in the crafting of public policy.
