Safer Texas is a group that doesn't like alcohol, at least compared to marijuana.
They
say they work "to address increasing concerns that our laws
prohibiting the marijuana market are sending a dangerous message to the
public that alcohol is more acceptable than marijuana. "
You can win $10,000 from them if you prove these three statements are not true:
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://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2010/10/safer_texas_10k_prize_pot.php
