The Safer Texas Campaign is
offering $10,000 to anyone in Texas who can prove that three statements
claiming marijuana is safer than alcohol are incorrect.
The three statements are:
1. Alcohol is significantly more toxic than marijuana, making death by overdose far more likely with alcohol
2. The health effects from long-term alcohol consumption cause tens of
thousands of more deaths in the U.S. annually than the health effects
from the long-term consumption of marijuana
3. Violent crime committed by individuals intoxicated by alcohol is far
more prevalent in the U.S. than violent crime committed by individuals
intoxicated by marijuana only. Read the entire story at: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/10/group-offers-10000-disprove-marijuana-safer-alcohol-claim/
