ALCOHOL VS. MARIJUANA

Alcohol should not be used to promote dialogue and ease conflicts, as
our president does.

Alcohol is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, disease
and violence each year.

As our president drinks his alcohol at the White House and, in effect,
promotes the use of this deadly substance, thousands of Americans are
being denied the access to medical marijuana to ease their pain.
