Look at the Damage Caused by Alcohol. Do We Really Want Marijuana Legalized?

Social Objection to Ending Prohibition

“Look at the damage caused by alcohol. Do we really want marijuana legalized?”

This reasoning is flawed for the main reason it is based on “associative” reasoning. It creates an atmosphere of “guilt by association” between alcohol and marijuana.

It pretends the effects of alcohol are the same as the effects of marijuana, which is clearly wrong.
