Maybe the people behind propaganda didn&amp;#x27;t like how marijuana can make people less social and more eccentric, but since drinking alcohol is seen as a way of socializing and camaraderie, it&amp;#x27;s acceptable?&lt;p&gt;The older I get the less I like alcohol. &lt;i&gt;Hangovers&lt;/i&gt; suck. I was (un)lucky enough to have a  bad lifetime case of acid reflux&amp;#x2F;GERD which is exacerbated by alcohol, so between that and not liking the hangovers, I generally can&amp;#x27;t imagine being an alcoholic. But alcohol ruins a lot of lives. I don&amp;#x27;t know how many lives marijuana ruins, except maybe out of laziness or lack of motivation.</text></comment>

This applies even if the companies were held in a fund.&lt;p&gt;I think there are lots of grey areas when it comes to legal Marijuana.</text></comment>
