> Lots of things are more damaging to society than weed, though

That's not an argument. I live in a metro. I rarely see ads for booze EVERYWHERE. TV, sure. Sometimes even the radio. But billboards? No, not really.

I see ads for weed EVERYWHERE. I can't recall the last time I saw an ad for a liquor store.

They aren't treated the same by society. Weed seems to be able to have complete freedom, while booze is still forced to be hidden. I'm for hiding both in the best possible way. If you want it, seek it out.
