MARIJUANA USERS BETTER THAN DRUNKS

Re: Legalization can no longer be snickered away, Sept. 5.

Thank you, Dan Gardner, for a well-thought-out article.

As someone who has bartended for years and seen the effects of alcohol 
versus marijuana firsthand, I would far rather be in a room of weed smokers 
than drinkers.

No fights, no horsing around, no passing out, no throwing up, no insisting 
that they're fine to drive.

In fact, the only time you'll come even close to violence with weed smokers 
(and even then, it won't actually happen) is when you're down to the last 
piece of pizza.
