Rational people choose cannabis

Alcohol is dangerous. Cannabis is safe.

In 2008 60.52% of violent deaths were on average 3.5 times the drinking and driving limit. Only 48.28% of non natural deaths countrywide were sober. (NIMSS pdf page20)

Professor Charles Parry, head of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Unit of the Medical Research Council says, "Over the past 20 years I have not come across any cases where it has been proved conclusively that cannabis caused a death in South Africa. However, it is my opinion in line with the findings of int'l research that heavy cannabis use is likely to have been causally implicated in some deaths from MV accidents, respiratory problems and cancer in this country. This certainly does not justify locking up users. The States's response should focus on public health interventions rather than law enforcement." (26 July 2011)

NO DEATHS ATTRIBUTABLE TO CANNABIS. ALCOHOL IMPLICATED IN HALF OF NON NATURAL DEATHS. 

A rational person would choose to consume cannabis before alcohol. The law would have us choose alcohol before cannabis. If the law is irrational, it must be wrong.
