Hecka, I agree that in general, drunks are more aggressive and prone to violence - I hate that as well.
But I have seen what heavy use of weed has done to my brother.
Sure, it has helped with his pain control, but when he is using it, he becomes irritable and irrational. He believes everyone is against him, and he cannot trust anyone. He drives like a madman with absolutely no patience on the road. And he becomes a violent bully against women and kids. A total a-hole.
Absolutely different person when he is off the weed - happy, respectful, fun loving.

I am just concerned that if weed is freely, openly, and legally available, more people will use more of it, and become like my brother.

Perhaps I am biased, but that is my honest view.
