The Marijuana Policy Project of Nevada wants to give you $10,000!

All you need to do first is, disprove the following three statements.

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 more deaths in the U.S. annually than the health effects from long-term marijuana consumption.
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.

Tip: MPPNV does not actually feel themselves in any peril of ever having to make a payout. Marijuana is provably far safer.

So, why does the USA put tens of thousands of people into prison in pursuit of a failed, un-winnable and utterly pointless drug war?

Weeds is one of our favorite shows. We love Mary Louise Parker.

And Mary Louise would really, REALLY, love to win another Emmy:

This is a real nice video. And it’s from one of our very favorite TV shows, Weeds.

Note that, as a matter of fact, we don’t any of us smoke weed. We just think that it’s shockingly bad public policy that it’s illegal.

We like Michael Phelps!

We don NOT like the Kellogs company.
