Democratic presidential candidate Mike Gravel told a group of high school students on Sunday that marijuana is safer than alcohol.
Speaking to a group of students at Phillips Exeter Academy, he said that he believes people should be able to buy marijuana in package stores.
"Alcohol is a heck of a lot worse than marijuana, and I'm sure a lot of you have tripped out on alcohol," Gravel said. "It's a lot safer to do it on marijuana."
Gravel has called for the decriminalization of minor drug offenses and better treatment for abuses of hard drugs.
A spokeswoman for Phillips Exeter said that candidates are free to express their opinions.

Yo man, why is your mood always cranky?
-------------------- My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end. -Icelander- I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW! ~dill705~

Tripped out on alcohol? This guy doesn't know his fucking vernacular for shit. At least he's got the point.

I've seen plently of people trip out on alcohol. Haven't you ever seen someone get violent or even psychotic from drinking too much? Its not really tripping, but the outcome could be just as bad as if someone had a violent break from reallity after eating too much acid.

I'm really suprised that this article hasn't been written in the way media normally depicts drugs, not being "Gravel gravely misuses position to spread dangerous ideas in the minds of innocent teenagers".

seriously now.
ImAgInE this scenario
YOU are walking down an alley in the middle of the night. Half way down the alley there is a group of people.
Would you rather A) Run into a bunch of drunk guys, maybe looking for a fight, or
B) Run into a group of stoned shitless guys, who will be too tired and hungry and happy to lift a finger toward you.

How un-American! He must be publicly humiliated and then crucified. At least some politicians have opinions outside of the norm, even if they stop them from ever holding an important office. Go Gravel.

In NewHampshire they'll fine you $600 and put a misdemeanor on your record for a stem. Been there done that. In Maine up to 1.25OZ is a civil ticket, and thats soon to change to 2.5OZ. In Portland Maine people smoke weed walking down the street and no one gives an F. I saw a lady sitting outside of Rite Aid smoking a chillum not caring at all.
I love this state.

Denver is the same way about weed. I walked across a crosswalk smoking a joint when a cop pulled to the light. He didnt even bat an eye. I had just parked on 16th street mall in a quest for herb and bought an available dime bag off of someone who made the "i need a lighter to light my joint, got one" motion one time, I musta looked like a stoner. That guy was cool as fuck!
Denver may not have the best cops by any means (Colorado for that matter) but they don't waste time stopping people smoking pot.
