@Dutchess_III I was raised around a lot of hippies in the 70’s, and it’s probably just about as popular today again. :D
When I said “not even”, I’m thinking of Reefer Madness and some of the things we were all told about drugs, mostly false. I’ve literally never seen anyone violent and stoned.
It’s definately a socially accepted practice which is very very odd to me.

However, what we don’t hear enough about is alcohol and how deadly it is. Alcohol is the most socially acceptable drug on the market and the most easily accessible. Even with this knowledge, the general public still has a tendency to believe alcohol is ok, not dangerous, and an acceptable form of relaxation. Science tells us something different. Alcohol is the deadliest drug of all. Let’s look at why this is true.
Alcohol kills more people than all other drugs combined.
Alcohol is three times as harmful as cocaine or tobacco.
Alcohol is more easily accessible than most other drugs.
Alcohol directly causes a variety of diseases.
The truth is alcohol is the deadliest drug and the research and statistics prove this. In a country that is focusing solely on the current opioid epidemic, these facts are a good reminder that alcohol is deadlier and more socially acceptable than other drugs. Next time someone tries to justify drinking alcohol, remember it causes cancer and other diseases, it’s three times as harmful as cocaine or tobacco, and it causes more deaths than all other drugs combined. We shouldn’t just accept alcohol was a part of life; we should talk about just how deadly it is.
