MTV's "The Real World" is basically the best tool (or should I say group of tools) SAFER could ever have to prove its point that marijuana is safer than alcohol. For years MTV has been throwing a bunch of strangers together and allowed them to only use alcohol and not marijuana for months at a time. Recently a couple other reality shows have also seen some alcohol-related problems that probably wouldn't have occurred had marijuana been the drug of choice instead.

On Tuesday evening the University of Arkansas student senate voted down the Razorback SAFER Resolution sponsored by the campus NORML chapter.  The campus paper included this scathing editorial of the student un-representatives and their politicized decision, as well as this news story. This is undoubtedly just a small battle in the war for marijuana-alcohol equality at the University of Arkansas, and the students are already planning their next steps. 

After the resolution failed, Charles McClure, vice president of NORML said, "Clearly the Senators are not representing their constituents; we will be petitioning, and the students will have an opportunity to vote on this themselves."

This is the kind of news famous people make when they use alcohol. This is the kind of news famous people make when they use marijuana.
