Marijuana advocates note alcohol's violence link in Colo. Capitol lobbying effort :: The Republic

In this article from therepublic.com, it tells us that theWomen's Marijuana Movement chapter in Denver wore purple Tshirts Tuesday to mark Sexual Assault Awareness Month and passed out some fliers that stated that alcohol is responsible and is more closely tied to more rapes and sexual assaults than marijuana. One of the women there is a college senior from CO Springs who was the victim of a drunken sexual assault. I stand closely behind the women of this movement, and I believe that alcohol should be the illegal substance, not pot. They're also apparenly planning a "high tea" for Mother's Day, which falls on May 8th this year.

  1. I'd have to agree. Not just rape and violent crime.. alcohol is responsible for almost 2 million deaths world wide every year. Marijuana... a big fat 0!
