♥ 257 Notes / Thu May 17th, 2012 ≡ reblogGroup argues weed is safer than booze
Denver (CNN) — A Colorado advocacy group is spending thousands of dollars to convince people that smoking pot is safer than drinking alcohol.
It’s an attempt by the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcoholto rally support for a vote in November that would legalize the drug for recreational use. Colorado legalized marijuana for medical use in 2000.
Last Friday, the group aired an advertisement on a local Denver channel during daytime programming encouraging people to “start your conversation about marijuana.” The 30-second spot features a young woman typing a message to her mother on her laptop, explaining that after spending her college years drinking heavily, she now prefers marijuana because “it’s less harmful … I don’t get hung-over and honestly I feel safer around marijuana users.”
