    The drug peddler is fined and rigorous imprisonment because there is hard evidence.

    Why not catch and convict the drug supplier. Do the law enforcement scared to catch drug suppliers/king-pin.

    Alcohol Vs Marijuana

    1. Many people die from alcohol use. Nobody dies from marijuana use.

    2. People die from alcohol overdoses. There has never been a fatal marijuana overdose.

    3. The health-related costs associated with alcohol use far exceed those for marijuana use. Health-related costs for alcohol consumers are eight times greater than those for marijuana consumers.

    4. Alcohol use damages the brain. Marijuana use does not. Despite the myths we’ve heard throughout our lives about marijuana killing brain cells, it turns out that a growing number of studies seem to indicate that marijuana actually has neuroprotective properties. This means that it works to protect brain cells from harm.

    5. Alcohol use is linked to cancer. Marijuana use is not. Alcohol use is associated with a wide variety of cancers, including cancers of the esophagus, stomach, colon, lungs, pancreas, liver, and prostate. Marijuana use has not been conclusively associated with any form of cancer.

    6. Alcohol is more addictive than marijuana.

    7.Alcohol use increases the risk of injury to the consumer. Marijuana use does not. Many people who have consumed alcohol, or know others who have consumed alcohol, would not be surprised to hear that it greatly increases the risk of serious injury.

    So why alcohol is not banned???

    Smoking is just as addictive and more dangerous than smoking marijuana. Why is it not banned?
