It's terribly false. There were a few kids in my class who drank like fish almost every night of the week. They could have easily died from alcohol poisoning one of those times. My sophmore year, a kid in my class had to go to the hospital to get his stomach pumped, and he was not kicked out of school. Yet every time I lit up at school I was risking my whole career there that I had worked hard for, even though I was at less risk to myself and to others compared to the alcoholics in my class. To the millions of people who don't smoke weed, never have, or don't understand it, I'm an oxy-moron.
