Salutations,
I can't wait to read the article that was submited in the OP, but...
Ain't throwing alcohol (and its drunk people) under the bus just too reminescent of "medical" cannabis users trying real hard not to get assimilated to "criminals" during the Harper era??
IMO sooner or later the roles need to be reversed so we no longer have to justify ourselves, much less burn a few more bridges... Of course there's something absurd here but i see 2 ends to that tube and it's about time the bigot prohibitionists are forced to find justifications too, if that's even reasonable. Basically, it's 3rd-party mis-guided interference which has to be put in the balance against the right to alter one's own mindset without having to fear external dangers from trauma/prejudice attributable only to irresponsible "adults" in panick, or just after a full-time job, etc.
We all lost a cause known as ""Free-the-Beer" and this wasn't for the best, now somehow it's freedom for all that seems required, with some better
sense of proportionality.
Good day, have fun!!
