Comment: This scientist should be embarrassed for writing such a hypocrisy filled document.
It is clear from nearly all scientific comparisons of alcohol and cannabis that alcohol is far more dangerous to physical and mental health with additional extra harms socially.
Why this writer endorses ongoing sales of alcohol with open advertising and promotion of use, yet simultaneously demands that cannabis be sold with no advertising doled out from behind a counter to maximize shame is simply incomprehensible. But it certainly is concordant with the ideology that drove the current legislative proposal before parliament.
