Let's spark it up.

When it comes to the debate of alcohol versus marijuana, it’s not difficult to chose a side. While there have been many new investigations into this debate, I believe that there is one definite side to back up. Even looking at specific details of both arguments, it is clear which one is safer, for lack of a better word. After carefully picking apart this image, I think that it is obvious that while alcohol is perfectly legal, minus some age restraints, marijuana is safer, again, for lack of a better word.

Starting off by noticing the words in the picture, “Can you guess which one is legal?” is kind of a joke per se. The picture itself draws it out for you. The first line of pictures starts out with a marijuana leaf, I’m pretty sure everyone  knows the meaning of that. In the second picture, it shows a couple stick figure friends hanging out together on a couch smoking some kind of marijuana. In the third picture I noticed a pizza box on the floor and a bunch of stick figure friends still sitting on the couch. In the final picture, it shows the stick figure friends holding hands with big smiles on their faces and a rainbow aura behind them. Notice how no one was harmed during their eventful escapade. This line of pictures proves to me that while and after these people engaged in smoking marijuana, all that happened was they ate some pizza, watched some TV, and possibly had a grand ole time. There was nothing bad that happened to them and they barely got up off the couch which ended with them obviously having a perfectly  fine time.

In the second line of pictures, it starts off with a bottle of alcohol. In the second picture, it shows the stick figure friends all sitting on the couch drinking out of this bottle of alcohol. Then, in the third picture it shows the stick figure friends getting into somebody’s car. In the last picture, it shows a car accident where the car is on fire and one of the stick figure friends laying in the street behind the car. There is also extensive damage to the car and evidence that they were going way too fast, which are the skid marks behind the car. This line of images proves that even though alcohol is perfectly legal, there are more fatalities and injuries from drunk driving that a group of friends sitting in someone’s house smoking a joint. Why is drinking alcohol perfectly legal, with the exception of the age restriction law which some people don’t even pay mind to? For all we know the people presented in these images could be under-aged  we aren't told any different with what we are shown.

Overall, I think that the overall argument that these images are trying to tell us is that although alcohol is legal, it is definitely not any better (if not worse which the pictures clearly show) than marijuana is for human consumption.
