Question by John Smith: what does “alcohol related” mean when referring to an accident?
I am aware that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) often produce statistics about alcohol related accidents. Every attempt to look for what “alcohol related” means in these statistics just brings me to more statistics. I have read on under reliable(not entirely unreliable) pages that “alcohol related” can mean a BAC of 0.01 for at-least one of the parties involved(including passengers), or a measurable amount of alcohol on the “on the person” of or “in the control” of one of the parties(also including passengers) and have also herd an accident qualifies as “alcohol related” if it occurred between 1:00 AM and 4:00 am
I would like to know what “alcohol related” means and where to find the definitions used in statistics.

Question by Anonymous Anonymous: Why is it illogical to argue that marijuana should be legal because alcohol is more harmful, yet legal?
Is it not reasonable to expect the legal substances to be safer than the illegal ones? Preventing potential harm to oneself/others is the basis for outlawing substances in the first place, right?
Please only answer my question, no ramblings on the topic in general.

Answer by tomusiaka
You should not assume that a substance is less harmful just because it’s legal. There are many legal drugs in pharmacy that are much more harmful to you than marijuana and some other drugs that are illegal. Also, glues and other chemicals that can make you high are legal but they are very harmful to your body.
People who want to make marijuana legal have other reasons, too. For example, there are couple countries where legalizing drugs made people use them less and safer, or that if someone wants to hurt himself, he will do it any other way using any other substance that is legal or just will buy an illegal drug from a drug dealer that potentially could be even more harmful because it is not regulated by the law.
People who don’t want to make marijuana legal believe that making it legal would make a lot of people use it and hurt themselves and others. Hurting others would include families (father got addicted and is not supporting his own family), other drivers (driving when “on high” can be life threatening), other poeple (accidental) and government’s budget (more accidents would mean more filled up hospitals and drug addicts usually can’t afford to pay their medical bills because they spend all their money on drugs).
There are other valid arguments on both sides though but the one you gave is actually not a valid one.
Answer by Moonlit Pharoah
It’s not an illogical argument, but now no one wants to address the issue because the government would have to admit it made a “mistake”, to put it in the most benign of terms. The most honest would be that the politicians which are majorly funded by the pharmaceutical industry wants you to buy their drug (whether it be more harmful or not.) Also keeping marijuana illegal is big business when it comes to arresting otherwise law-abiding citizens (cops, lawyers, more prisons). This is prohibition just as it was with alcohol,only in this case they have conveniently grouped marijuana with much more destructive drugs so they can further penalize citizens and take away even more freedoms in the guise of protecting america from the scourge of drugs. They have even used their propaganda to try and group those who buy drugs with those who support terrorism. The only thing that is fueling drug related crime and lining the pockets of the worst criminals is the continued prohibition of marijuana.

I have read so much about alternative treatments and really need to know if anyone has tried successfully to reduce large tumours?
What a poor first answer, no need for the thick sarcasm or ‘smart’ remarks,..I don’t need a biology lesson, I simply asked for anyone who had used this treatment, fortunately you don’t need to ask such questions.

Answer by IplayadoconTV
Do you even know what zeolite is? It’s CLAY! So you
think you can defeat LIVER CANCER by eating DIRT!
Go ahead, it can’t hurt. Make sure all your affairs are
in order.
Answer by Animal girl
I hesitate to even answer this, because this is a detox, and not a cure for cancer or tumors.
Liver cancer is a bad one, and rarely a cure, but it certainly would not hurt in conjunction with conventional treatment to also use alternative treatment – what could hurt?
Good luck!
