Question by chicagoanswerer: Why is it acceptable to drink alcohol but not smoke pot?
Just curious what others think about this. They say alcohol kills so many hundreds of thousands each year yet in the history of the world no-one has died from marijuana. A study was also recently released that stated marijuana smoke does not cause cancer. Marijuana is also proven not to be physically addictive as both alcohol and ciggarettes are. And to top it off the whole reason it was made illegal in the first place is because Harry J. Anslinger testified to congress it caused white women to seek black men, people to kill their brother, and the degenerate races to think they were as good as the white man, absolutely none of it was based on any science. Just curious why people’s attitude towards alcohol is great and people look down upon marijuana?
Let me clarify, I’m not asking about how we view the people who smoke pot, I’m asking how we view pot itself. And for those comments about pot smokers being stupid, though there is the stereotype of the stoner many many many potheads are academics, scientists, professors, writers, lawyers, etc.

Answer by amancalledj
People with power and influence crusaded and manipulated the government to make it illegal. It’s as simple as that.

This is not some hippie political statement. I don’t smoke pot.

Question by Nick: Volunteering on the Salvation Army Website?
I was hoping to offer my time to volunteer somewhere. I’ve been looking to volunteer anywhere in downtown Chicago (I’ll take the train but I don’t mind walking since I like being in Chicago).

Anyways, what I did was put the zip code in at the top (one of the Chicago zips – 60602) and I got to this:

http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/ndos/app/zipcode.jsf?zip=60602

Looking at this page, my best guess would be that I need to Email the people involved and ask them when volunteers are needed? So, I guess my question is just to confirm that. What do you guys think?

Also, what does “Adult Rehabilitation” refer to? Is that detox.
